I'm a nerd and into lifting, but I took a pause for oh very many years, so I'm currently still emptying my 2.something kilogram tub of Optimum Nutrition whey protein, which tastes decent enough. Do you have a recommendation on decent tasting soy protein, especially something available in Europe?

I pretty much look like a bear so it's going to be very difficult to feminize me lol

Meat and dairy contains hormones that increase estrogen and reduce testosterone, not plants.

That may be, I was just saying I'm not particularly concerned about it anyway.

Yeah I know, that's why T levels in the USA has dropped by 20% in the last 20 years and obesity is rapidly increasing.

Pretty sure obesity is increasing because people are sedentary and eat like shit.

Testosterone is known to go down in obese people so I think you have your cause and effect reversed there.
