whens the best time to take protein? My workout schedule is one day arms, next day legs, next day chest and shoulders. I sometimes spilt them up and vary the days etc. I also do 10min of cardio running on incline. Should I take my isopure protein supplement before i workout, during or after. Also should I take protein on days I rest? I need protein since i dont eat much meat at home.

Why not soy protein? I thought that it was a complete protein source.

Does soy contain a hormone, or something that acts estrogen-like?
-
That would be odd and strangely disturbing since I've been drinking large quantities of soy milk for a while now (slightly lactose intolerant).

"Soy contains a group of plant estrogens (phytoestrogens) called isoflavones." That's supposed to be a good thing, though. It won't give you breasts. See the Go Ask Alice (Columbia U.), What are the benefits of soy?
