EAS Soy Protein Powder - stay positivee - Jun 12, 2014
Hi I'm new to working out and stuff and my uncle told me to get this protein that he uses instead of premier protein (i use to use it).

I have a question it says Get Lean & Toned, but I'm trying to bulk up. Is that bad? Will it still help me with my muscles though? And I eat a lot I've gained 20 pounds so far with premier protein. What about this?
Thanks. ✌

There's really no difference in proteins from foods compared to powders. Pea, and soy proteins are just there as an option to attract vegans, and people who think they're healthier than everyone else.
Adding weight, and losing fat is going to come down to calorie intake, not the type of protein. Increase your overall calorie intake to add mass, decrease it to burn more bodyfat in place of food. Calculate your TDEE online, and add about 250-500 calories to it to add about .5-1lb a week. Likewise, you'd subtract about 500 calories from your diet to burn fat. Take in about 2grams of protein per kg of bodyweight, and fill the rest of your calorie intake with fats, and carbs. Choose some foods with more nutrients like occasion veggies on the side of your plate too.

Use the protein powder only when you need to get your protein macros in. You don't need it exactly after or before your workout; take it whenever you need to during the day.
I personally use protein powder since it helps me get my protein required throughout the day.

Breakfast : Obviously you haven't eaten any proteins or arminos over the night. Therefore you body is lacking those.
Post-Workout: Your body does consume a whole lot of proteines and arminos -> lack of those

I work out 5-6 days a week, and I try not to get my protein from weigh protein blends. However, if you are going to use protein powder, I would try to go for one with less sugar. EAS has 17g per scoop, 34g per 2 scoops, which isn't that bad, but you could do better with a different kind.

I'd suggest using Whey protein over Soy protein. It's just the difference in what makes up the proteins, both are good, but one is just better and it's been proven.
Don't get all your protein from protein powders/bars, etc. Get it from natural foods. They're called supplements for a reason...
