Meat, good.
Soy, bad.
.
Soy has estrogen, the last thing most males need more of.
I hit a protein shake for b’fast every day (30grams) and of course it’s chocolate flavored; then too, green tea extract. When you sit up to ten hours a day (four days running) have to lean out.
You should do cocaine, drink Fresca, and smoke Marlboro Lights...
.
That reminds me - it is PAST my dinnertime.
What to eat, what to eat, Hmmmmm....
.
But seriously - I haven't eaten any soy ANYTHING for a number of years.
I don't like the sounds of what phytoestrogens may do to the male metabolism.
Call me crazy, if you want - but I'll eat my own way, thank-you.

Some people just want to sow division. Me? I'm a lover, not a fighter. Steak teriyaki stir fry about twice a month.
Oh - And I've resolved my dinner dilemma...

I love these people. You’ll notice that both low- and high-protein groups lost the same amount of weight—about five percent of their body weight over six months. So that indicates that it doesn’t make any difference whether you increase the amount of protein or decrease it. It really is what the participants wanted to accomplish. I can guarantee you right from the start that if you consume food, and are unable to exercise enough, if at all, to use up the calorie intake in your body, you will not lose weight or gain muscle mass. It just isn’t possible.
If weight loss is their intent, I recommend the Harris Benedict Equation. And it is very simple and regulates the needed food intake directly aligned with the activity amount. Not eating a balanced diet with intake based upon activity, then you won’t balance or lose fat intake needs. It is used by many weight loss organizations and the US military for weight control and, with exercise, fitness.
The macronutrient content of the HBE diet was comprised of 16% energy from protein, 20% energy from fat, and 64% energy from carbohydrate. So as you can see, the recommended protein of the diet is lower than the recommended fat intake and the carb needs were much higher than both.
The difference in the BMR equations can be related to body type also. The Mifflin-St Jeor Equation along with the HBE are considered the most accurate equations for calculating BMR with the exception that the Katch-McArdle Formula can be more accurate for people who are leaner and know their body fat percentage. Better to tweak. But the organizations that swear by protein are not complete enough on their formulas and can be inconsistent based upon exercise and body shape to start. And unless the user recalculates almost daily, they won’t pick up the changes and the body will solidify at best and start to go into a starvation action retaining amounts inconsistent with the dietary desires.
Some may take notice of fats. Without fats and related molecules (known collectively as lipids) your body would quite literally fall apart, because there would be no cell membranes to hold it together. Not only do lipids form membranes, they are the basis of many chemical messengers and a major component of nerve cells, forming nearly 60 percent of the human brain. So cutting out fats to replace it with proteins is not going to help the body, it will harm it. And for you women out there, extra fat is even more important for women, because their reproductive health depends on it.
It all comes down to using more calories than you intake. And doing it in a way that the body doesn’t rebel on you. And exercise can greatly assist in the build of muscle mass that can decrease fat tissue. However, it can sculpt the body, but muscle weighs more than fat. That six pack can look good, but if numbers are your thing, you’ll lose ground. Deal with health and not appearance. Too many difference cell needs in your DNA. Don’t mess with mother nature too much.

I’m astonished that “big snack” allowed this study to see the light of day.
Most of us already knew this basic tenet of nutrition.
That’s what my F/O does before a flight.
I love these people. You’ll notice that both low- and high-protein groups lost the same amount of weight—about five percent of their body weight over six months.
I lost 20% in six months and another 20% the next six. But it wasn't either high protein or low protein.
Could be; he ain’t say’n ...
Should use a straw in case of bumpy air. LOL
