Common Questions and Answers about Soy protein recipes
protein
Soy products/tofu are good sources of protein, however, if you have thyroid issues, you should not eat/drink soy.
Beans and legumes are also good sources of protein, as are eggs, dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) and whole grains. I don't eat soy, a lot of beans or legumes, so, unfortunately, I can't provide recipes, but you can do a search.
Protein is an essential part of your diet and if you are skipping meat then you should try something like tofu or similar non vegetarian protein food to aid in your weight loss. Not only protein can curb your hunger but also can help you build muscles ( if you are working out) to burn more calories.
m on a very strict nutritional program and typically eat two (6 ounce) servings of meat (chicken breast or eye of round) and 1-2 whey protein shakes per day. Different things I've read says that meat is to be limited to 5 ounces per day and no whey. Does anyone have any information on how our protein levels are reached with these limitations? I cannot eat nuts and one can only eat so many egg whites in a day.
Stop eating red meat; eat fish, foods with fiber and fruits... if you're sold on protein products, go with Soy Protein; such as Twinlab's Vege Fuel...great for Mass gain and lots of Aminos. 0.8gm per Kilogram of bodyweight. 2.2#/kg (i.e. 150# ÷ 2.2 = 68kg x0.8 = 54.6gm of protein [or about 4 scoops of protein powder] ) Most protein powders offer about 25-30gms per serving.

One cup of cooked soybeans has 29 grams of protein, according to The Vegetarian Resource Group. Soy products, such as tofu and tempeh, are derived from the soybean, and can replace meat in some recipes. An expanding market for soy products means you can find soy hot dogs, burgers, bacon and sausage at your super market.
Beans, like black, kidney, lima and baked beans all have more than 10 grams of protein per cup.
As for Soy, Asians eat a lot of soy in their diet, Soy formula is a good choice for infants, Soy-containing foods help prevent osteoporosis, Soy is a healthy food for adults, Soy helps improve libido in men.
The above about Soy is false. Those who eat large amounts of soy, especially non-fermented soy, have severe hormonal imbalances that are very difficult or impossible to correct without eliminating or drastically reducing soy in the diet. i have seen soy as an ingredient added to tea bags!
I would advise you to stay away from the soy milk. Soy is a well-known allergen, and it's NOT health food. http://search.mercola.com/Results.aspx?q=soy&k=soy In fact, soy is downright dangerous. I don't think it's a good idea to give babies and small children soy milk, especially if they already have these allergies you're talking about. The other information about what amounts to vegan recipes is a great idea.
I think the rice protein powder should be fine, then, as long as it's the protein and not just brown rice powder. Soy is a more complete protein, but if you isolate protein, you've got protein no matter the source. And the almond milk is also a good source as long as it doesn't have too much sugar in it. You can also buy chicpea flour, though I'm not sure of the taste and it probably isn't digestible raw.
I am allergic to soy and also struggle with what to eat in restaurants and what recipes to use. I searched "soy allergy" on line to learn the many different names for soy in food, make up, shampoo/conditioner and household products. (I printed the names on "word" and don't have the websites saved) I now read the labels before I buy anything I put on or in my body. I also carry an epi pen after learning from my dr. that I was in danger of anaphalyxis.
Also soy, as in tofu, edamame, stir fry, etc. Try a Thai restaurant or recipes. My Japanese friend buys the firm kind and slices it, then stir fries it with vegetables and teriaki sauce and serves it over rice. What a delicious meal.
Well - you have got to have a liquid - so the options are water, milk, or soy/almond/rice/coconut milk. Then you have to have some source of protein. Other than protein powder, you are pretty limited. You don't want to use raw egg. You could use nuts or peanut butter. Other sources of protein such as cooked meat or fish wouldn't be particularly appetizing in a smoothie.
soy is a controvercy that will always be there. Many leading health writers now say its bad for the whole body, yet many still support it. Its though to steer away from it if you have thyroid issues.
Its used in Asia for centuries in food, but the difference apparently is fermentation....... or not, and how much you are consuming.
One study says no more than 30 mgs of soy protein per week, another says as little as 30 mg of soy isoflavones per day can affect people with hypothyroidism. I am also having difficulty in finding how much that is (e.g. is 1 mg soy protein equal to 1 mg soy isoflavones; the articles I have found state that 30 soy isoflavones is the amount found in 5-8 ounces of soy milk which only contains 10 mg of soy protein).
I tried googling this earlier in my pregnancy and didn't like what I found... that none are really "good" for me or baby right now. I went with veggie & fruit smoothies and used soy milk as it had higher protein content (vs other but mills). But I want to know if anyone else has found out anything else!
tofu, soy milk, soy yogurt, soy pudding, and soy ice cream. Incomplete proteins you need to combine foods such as beans and rice, pasta with vegetables, peanut butter and bread, nuts in salad, and beans with pasta. You can try any of the above to get protein in her for each meal. Milkshakes (milk, fresh fruit, and ice cream) are also good for extra protein too.
