Soy vs whey protein powder?

Not a body builder, but need to add more protein to my diet.
Soy powder or whey powder, or does it matter?

Answer:
Whey is thought to contain the perfect combination of muscle-building amino-acids (the building blocks of protein) and enhance the immune system. It has also shown a rapid utilization capacity, for maximum protein absorption by the muscles (making it perfect as a post-workout drink). Recent studies have suggested soy to be as effective, if not more so, than whey in terms of its ability to promote gains in lean muscle mass. Although whey is by far more popular because of it's anabolic (muscle building effects) soy is actually better for MAINTAINING physique, which is what looks better for you.
Take whety if you want get buff. Always look at saturated fat though!
Neither. You want a casein protein blend. It's a slower digesting protein so it won't get wasted and give you excessive gas like whey protein tends to. Soy is a weak protein supplement compared to whey and casein. Most casein blends have whey in them as well, so kill two birds with one stone.
