Hello sir I am a regular gym goer and wants to build a good physique and I consume 60 gram of soya chunks in a meal in a day and sometimes twice a day so is it good or bad or should I replace soya chunk and add another source of protein? Should I completely remove soya chunks from my diet or is it bad or making my protein absorption from over all diet less effective.

While soya chunks are good, it is better to have a variety of protein sources in your diet so that you get all the different amino acids in good proportions.

Its good to take soy as a protein option, its contain good quality protein that is similar to protein found in non veg sources , milk Products and eggs,but it also contains trypsin inhibitors that inhibits that absorption of protein, make sure to soak it in water atleast half an hour prior before consuming
