Soy or Whey Protein

[mostly_a_lurker]

Is either one better than the other? I'm using Whey right now but saw at a store I could get Soy cheaper for more servings and the same amount of protein.

If it's for a post w/o shake, then whey is better.

 

[anthrax]

there is no "better" protein

They both have their own benefits and drawbacks

it depends on what you're looking for

some peeps will tell you that there is evidence that soy can increase estrogen. i, personally, don't buy into it.

as millie said, whey is great for your post-workout shake because it has a very high biological value, meaning that it absorbs quickly into your bloodstream.
