I just posted in the bulking forum, but i have another question regarding diet.
Ive been a vegetarian/vegan for the last 10 years or so, and im trying to quit and eat meat.
Ive been consuming SOY as my main source of protein for the last 10 odd years(im 24) but have finnaly decided to stop. There are alot of reasons but one of the biggest is estrogen/testosterone conflicts. Im starting to worry my estrogen levels are high and test levels low. Ive been told and read various arguments, a friend of mine was saying how the soy estrogen makes you more "womenly" changing your attitude to be more passive and emotional, which oddly enough i have become more so as time goes by. And im trying to get seriuos with the working out, i cant have low test levels and high estrogen, as i feel i have high water retention, among other symptoms..
LOng story short, im pretty confused as to what some good meals containing meat would be for a bulkish diet. Im not even really sure what meat i like anymore, as some meats are easier on me than others, ive started with fish and seafood, but it gets old, im looking to start eating more domestic animals, but i cant deny it when i say meat still grosses me out, heh.
Im guessing the birds id be most able to handle, and pigs and cow would be the hardest on my stomach(and taste buds). I know most people wonder how i dont think meat is the greatest **** ever, but compared to the vegetarian(soy protein) foods im used to, so far its nothing great taste wise.
Its also a matter of whats healthy and whats not, nutrionally, almost any soy food such as, soy burgers, soy hot dogs, soy sausage ect ect is healthy especially compared to the meat counterparts, so i would tottaly have to change my menu up.
So any suggestions or comments would be appreciated, thanks.
