help with protein

j_dino Posts: 55 Joined: 2002/09/16	2004/12/10, 06:09 PM I have recently found out I am lactose intolerant, thank goodness, solved a lot of problems :) Since whey is made from milk products it would stand to reason that it has plenty of lactose in it. I know about both egg and soy protein. Is it true that soy protein would inhibit testosterone and increase estrogen? If I went with egg protein would I use a smaller amount than whey, the egg protein is a bit more expensive. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Dino

j_dino Posts: 55 Joined: 2002/09/16	2004/12/13, 12:58 PM On the trueprotein site the have a milk protein isolate that is pretty much devoid of lactose. It has both whey protein and casein. Would this be a benefitial mix? Dino

After you work out, you want as much protein and carbs to get into blood and muscles fast as possible -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.

j_dino Posts: 55 Joined: 2002/09/16	2004/12/16, 02:31 PM From reading other posts it looks like it would be best to have the isolate first thing after a workout and then the casein before bed. One question is, should I add dextrose to the isolate and could I drink some pre-workout and then some post-workout?
