Soya Sauce

[Small]

Okay whats the deal with soya sauce?

is it okay to be eating with your chicken and brown rice?

I have a dash of it with every chicken and rice meal i consume (about 2-3 a day), what negative effects will this be having on my body in terms of training and dieting?

I got told today it was badd. and I don't know how i'll ever get used to plain organic brown rice and boiled/grilled chicken w/o soyasauce.

Ive been lookin at previous "Soy" posts in here - and they all talk about how it effects males testosterone levels. Seeing as ima girl, what "effects" and bad stuff will it do to me?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated, thanks

I have consumed heaps of soya sauce through plenty of diet cycles post comp pre comp without any adverse affects .it is high in sodium which may make u retain a bit of water if u are having shitloads of it along with salt etc.A little bit of a sauce wil not do u any harm in my opinon

soy sauce is fine eat all you want.

I reckon moderate amounts of soya sauce is fine. I don't like eating my food "dry" - particularly meals with tuna, rice etc.

Other things I use to moisten my meals and add flavour is to use some olive oil, salsa or low fat tartare sauce. There are plenty of low-calorie sauces and oils which will make a meal a lot tastier without adding too many "empty" calories.

i sometimes use abit of 'bit on the side' sauces by watties.

dunno if this is adding empty cals, but dont really care.

my food is good and so is my good calorie intake

Sweet. im thinking I wont have to worry about it at all then.

So it won't effect any gains or nothing?

FYI i only have like 2 teaspoons, and no salt. its not like half the bottle, everytime or anything.

I thought a lot of soya sauce was very high in sodium , I will have to take a look in the cupboard as we have bottles of the stuff!
