Soy protein is definately a subject for great debate.
There are 4 calories in every 1g of protein.
Most athletes require around 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Some
athletes, especially those with a fast metabolism may need higher amounts from
1.5 to 2 grams per pound of body weight. This fact is often disputed among
scientists, companies and athletes, often being cited much lower at 1g per kg of
bodyweight being the maximum requirement. Of course this would depend on a
number of factors including training intensity, frequency, absorption, quality
of protein etc, specific supplementation designed to absorb more protein, drug
use etc.
