Why: If you're vegetarian or vegan, soybeans might be a primary source of protein for you, but according to Goglia you're not getting a whole lot of bang for your buck. "There are amino acids (the building blocks of protein), but those amino acid structures within soybeans are difficult for us to absorb," Goglia explains. "First and foremost, soy is a starch and sugar [two things you want to avoid when trying to slim down]. It's high in estrogen, and it's been linked to numerous cancers, (primarily breast cancer) in both men and women. Any products high in estrogen like wheat and soy are unfavorable choices."
