soybean 50 gm protein - #27805
I am really confused about this whole soybean 50 gm protein thing. Like, I've been trying to eat healthier, right? A few weeks ago, I was at my friend’s house and she showed me how to make this cool soy stir-fry dish. I was amazed at how much protein was in the soybeans — she said like 50 gm of protein per cup or something. Sounded awesome cause I've been feeling kind of low on energy lately. So, I bought a bunch of soybeans thinking I would meal prep and hit my protein goals easily. But I also started having trouble digesting them, like bloating and gas, so now I’m wondering, am I overdoing it with this soybean 50 gm protein? Can eating too much be bad for you? I read somewhere that soy can mess with hormones too, and I've also got this weird itchy rash that popped up around the same time I started eating them more regularly. Maybe it's all in my head, but is it normal for soybean 50 gm protein to cause reactions like this? Should I consider cutting back or switching to something else for protein? Ugh, I just want to feel good without worrying all the time. Any advice on how to balance all this would help!
