Hi Judy:
As far as I know many WLS products are made with soy and it is a good source of protein.   I cannot eat a lot of soy products because I have low thyroid and take medication for it and the soy interfers with my thyroid medicine...

Whey protein is the kind of protein that we absorb the best.  Soy protein is not bad for us, but, for example, if you have something that is soy with say, 25 grams of protein, just don't rely on absorbing that full 25 grams as you would if it was whey protein.  Here is a list of the amounts of protein we absorb from different sources:

Protein Source                           BV
                                               
Whey Protein Isolate Blend            100-159
Whey Concentrate (Lactalbumin)       104
Whole Egg                              100
Cow's Milk                                91
Egg White (Albumin)                     88
Fish                                       83
Beef                                      80
Chicken                                   79
Casein (a protein from milk)             77
Rice                                      74
Soy                                       59
Wheat                                    54
Beans                                     49
Peanuts                                   43
