I tend to think the more advanced you get, the more it matters. Largely because one needs to use their calories wisely to handle consistently heavy volume without getting that pear shaped physique.

Newbies seem to get away with a lot more in terms of less protein or poor quality protein, as half of those newbie gains you get when you start out are just liquid and glycogen 😀 Pushing further towards genetic limits of lean mass gain means an approach that is conducive to maximal lean mass repair and regeneration.

I’m a complete dinosaur who has never eaten tofu, although 4-6 eggs a day is regular. Am I missing much? 😛

Amazing, this is a massive problem with the internet, people writing stuff with 0 proof, unfortunately on a site like MSN people will uncritically read this stuff and take is as fact.

Although I have seen figures that show that the average, SEDENTARY, American gets sufficient protein in their diet (a double whopper with cheese contains 48g protein so I can believe this).

In reply to Bryan. @Bryan. Yep. I've come across this type of research before. Frightening stuff!

Soy for men is not a good idea in general. Below is just an example: https://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/23/11/2584.abstract

TL;DR “CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that higher intake of soy foods and soy isoflavones is associated with lower sperm concentration.”

Hey Mark – Thanks for the info on the MSN article. People need to know about their FALSE information. You left out one of the most very important factors thought – Tofu is made from Soybeans and, here in the US, 90% of all soy beans are GMO. This means you are consuming Roundup! Go figure. The MSN article was probably sponsored by Monsanto! lol

I have a vegan friend who tells me a lot to switch to tofu and soy products for my protein needs. He thinks all protein is the same. I gotta show him this!
