I eat chicken, eggs, fish as my primary sources of protein but I also have tempeh and tofu as an option, although I dont really eat those two because im worries about the estrogen mimicking elements of them.

I wanna know yalls thoughts on tofu or other plant based protein sources and whether soy protein would ruin my development and hormones or nah

Soy is a myth it wont do anything significant
It actually functions similar to a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM)
It binds to ERb, not ERa (ERa is the receptor associated with bad estrogenic effects like stunted height, breast tissue, etc.) mildly but not enough to the point to do literally anything
So it doesnt matter yeah

Tldr: it doesnt do anything significant

Anyways, just hit protein macros with wtv you got

It will destroy your hormones, stay with the eggs and meat
