Hi Matt

Welcome Matt! I am glad you are posting!

I am soy intolerant, so I don't use soy protein powder. Also, soy is estrogenic meaning it has estrogen properties (a female hormone). While men have some estrogen in their bodies, I am not sure if this is a good thing for men to be eating.

I love the whey protein powder "Restore" that is sold in the RR store. Mixing fruit with it doesn't destroy the properties of the protein powder.

I have done a lot of yogurt investigation. I used to eat fruit flavored yogurt, but it has a lot of sugar and it only contains 8 gms of protein. Greek yogurt has 18-20 gms of protein and I find it works well for me. I think whether dairy works for you is an individual thing.

What step of the program are you on Matt? How is breakfast going? I am excited to hear all about your program.
