I recently bought this soymilk called Yeo, from a local Asian store. It tastes good, but it has a lot of carbs in it and is 200 calories. should I be worried?

I'd be more worried about the side effects of drinking that much processed soy every day.  Processed soy products contain a lot of extra plant hormones and isoflavens that can accumulate in your body and cause problems with your thyroid, your brain, and your hormone levels.  If you're pregnant, you definately shouldn't drink it that often, nor should you if you are a teenage or pre-teen, even more so if you are male.

There's been a lot of research that indicates that "carb loading" is worthless. If you eat carbs at dinner time, chances are your insulin will just kick in and store the excess as body fat. Your body does need carbs before/during (if prolonged) exercising to refuel glycogen stores but not right before bed.\n\nPersonally, if I eat a lot of carbs in the evening, I'll wake up tired and dehydrated. If I eat a lot of protein/fat, I'll feel a whole lot better in the morning and have a lot more energy. However -- there is a transition period. If you cut out all carbs tomorrow, you'll feel awful. Your body needs time to adjust to changes. Mine is used to protein/fat and very few carbs.\n\nI'm not sure if that really answers your question, but I hope it helps. Good or bad, our bodies are way to complex to be compared with something like fuel in a car.

it's okay\nconsider the low quality of the sweetener used, and the amount of sweetener, and the fact that milk is already more carb than protein by weight.  also milk contains saturated fat, and potentially contaminants.\n\ngood protein though, and long-term protein.  (some protein digests faster than other)  Also, it's convenient.  \n\nMy guess is that you should just drink the milk, and (sadly) probably not whole milk either.\n\nIf you need a sugar buzz eat quality fruit instead.

Some of the artificial sweetners have been linked to cancer.  Splenda is a really good one, it's made from real suger but without all the calories.

I used something called COMPLETE.  When mixed with Silk Soy Milk, it is absolutely delicious.  My kids think it's a milk shake!  You can get it from Prevention Proof.  I like their products because they're backed it up with credible research, not some doctor's endorsement who's also "on the payroll". Good luck!\napuzyr@yahoo

A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C. Everything exept like diet coke has some calories in it. However.... You want to eat vegys and fruit becase they have tons of vitamins and fiber and good stuff for you body, think about the stuff you'd replace it with. Let me outline your options reall quick so you understand how good vegys are by comparison;\n\nMeat; while nessary for you most types of meat have way to much saturated fat in it and not nearly enough of the good unsaturated fat. fish is better, and some meat is nessiary, but to much is shown to give people brain damage if they substute it for vegetables or fruit.\n\n\ncarbohidrates: theres some of these in your fruit and vegetables but what i'm talking ab out here is that white bread and cerial and stuff, now you should also have some carbs in your diet, but they don't provide the same nessiarly vitamins and minerals that fruit and vegys do.\n\nNow for ths stuff you should stay away from just because (now we all have a little of this but try not to over indulge) simple sugars, trans fats and saturated fat, So basicly, potato chips, pop corn, candy, and deep fired food. Just think is this a healthy food, is it fresh, does it have an experation date in the next two weeks. those are good guidelines to live by. Anyway hope this wasnt to long. Dont stop eating vegys and fruit. lol.

Well most sushi would be considered quite healthy.  It would be great if you could eat brown rice, rather that white refined rice. A high fiber food puts on less weight than a refined carb such as white rice.  Are you eating the fried sushi? The fish and California roll ones should be pretty low in calories and fat.

to be honest w/ you its VERY high in sugar- you would be better off going to GNC and getting a supplement drink and you can add fruit to it to make it taste better-\ni did the slim fast thing and I gotta tell you i gained weight- its the SUGAR

Well not quite...\n\nThe following facts are things that you need to first understand.\n1 gram of fat contains 9 calories\n1 gram of carbohydrates and protein contains 4 calories\nThere is 454 grams in 1 pound.\n\nSo for the first question, 1 calorie is equal to 1 fat calorie.  Like someone else said no difference.  Its a unit of energy/heat.  The difference between 1 calorie of carbohydrate and 1 calorie of fat is that it take 1/4 of a gram of carbohydrate to generate 1 calorie and it takes 1/9 of a gram of fat to generate 1 calorie.\n\nFor the second question, it take 1 pound of fat generate 4086 calories.  454 grams / 1 pound  x  9 cal / 1 gram of fat = 4086.\n\nWhy is it not 3600 calories?  When you exercise, you are not only burning carbohydrates but also fat (sort of a simplification, alot of it depends of type of exercise, during of exercise, etc).  So when we say you need to burn 3600 calories to lose 1 lb this is making a reference to the fact that we are burning fat and carbohydrates.\n\nHope this help and understable.

Unless you are eating 3 and up per day, or unless those are piled up with 2 or 3 scoops of the richest, yummiest, gooiest ice cream ever, don't worry about it.  Look at the boxes and get out the calculator out and crunch the numbers or ask the guy/gal at the ice cream counter for their nutritional information and hope nobody is in line behind you?  LOL!  There are lots of low fat ice/sugar free creams out there.  Good luck.

Maybe you just need to change something. Whats included in your 1400-1800 calories. Are they empty calories, protein, carbs or what. This site has really helpful info:

to answer your question really simply they are good carbs.\nwhen you eat something you use about a quarter to a third of the energy breaking down the food. complex carbs do not have to be broken down into simple sugars (the type you store as fat) and take slightly more energy to break down. ie 100 cals of complex carbs will use about 30 cals breaking it down into useable energy, with not much stored, 100 cals of white sugar doesn't need to be broken down and is easily stored as fat. carbs provide a long term energy source, a few hours, and therefore shouldn't be eaten for a few hours before you sleep

Traditional Diets\n\nCargill has received "self-determined" GRAS status for its AdvantaSoyTMClearTM isoflavone supplement to be used as an additive for beverages, nutrition bars, yoghurt, meal replacements and confections. The summaries of studies below provide ample proof of the dangers of adding phytoestrogens (isoflavones) to common foods. Deleterious effects include endocrine disruption, thyroid suppression, immune system suppression, suppression of sperm production, DNA breakage and increased incidence of leukemia, breast cancer, colon cancer, infertility, growth problems and subtle changes in sexually dimorphic behaviors.\n\nIt has been argued that high levels of soy isoflavones such as genistein, daidzein and genistin in Asian diets protect the inhabitants of Japan and China from certain degenerative diseases, especially breast and prostate cancer. Actually, consumption of soy in traditional Asian diets is low. A 1975 report lists soyfoods as minor sources of protein in Japan and China.1 Major sources of protein listed were meat including organ meats, poultry, fish and eggs. Average isoflavone consumption in Asian diets ranges from 3-28 mg/day, as shown in the table below.\n\nStudies indicate that isoflavone consumption at levels slightly exceeding those found in tradition diets results in thyroid suppression and endocrine disruption. The AdvantaSoyTMClearTM supplement would add 30-50 mg of isoflavones to a 100-gram serving of various common western foods, levels that exceed the amounts found in traditional diets and that are in the range of levels shown to cause problems, especially for sensitive individuals. Note that this level is also greater than the amount provided by 25 mg soy protein isolate, the amount determined by the FDA to warrant a health claim. It is not only possible but likely that many individuals will consume two or more servings of foods to which the Cargill isoflavones have been added, especially as these foods will be promoted with much advertising touting their health benefits. Two or more servings of such foods would provide 60-100 mg isoflavones per day, an amount that provides the estrogen equivalent of the contraceptive pill2 and one that clearly poses dangers after only a brief period of daily intake.

my son is small in frame for his 19yrs. and he hates it so he went to the store..(Wall-Mart) and got some big giant jug of protien powder that taste like Bannanas and some vitamin energy bars...............and I promise 2 months later you can really tell a difference , He is also into working out and he still eats lot's of fruits and veggies. I don't think it's healthy for someone to overload on protien but and a bit extra maybe...

The simple answer is that 1g of SPLENDA contains a fraction of a calorie, so they round down to get 0 calories.\n\nThough you might have heard anything ending in "ose" means sugar and should be used in moderation, sucralose, the sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA, is not recognized by the body as sugar or as a carbohydrate and has no calories. Sucralose has also been shown not to cause a rise in hemoglobin A1c (a measure of your average blood glucose level over time).\n\nSPLENDA can lower carbohydrates and calories in recipes. For example, a cup of SPLENDA has 96 calories and 24 grams of carbohydrates, compared to the 770 calories and 192 grams of carbohydrates found in a cup of sugar.

I would see a nutritionist about this.  I would think their should be a high protein soy formula out there.  I hope he is not allergic to that.  Good luck.  Are you feeding him jarred food yet.  If he really likes your milk you can puree fresh veggies and add your milk to it to give him more calories.  Have you tried that.\n\nI made my son's baby food.  All you have to do is steam the veggies and put them in a food processor to puree.  You can do a lot at one time and freeze them in ice cube trays or baby jars.  You can also use the first years small containers.  The breast milk might make him eat more of it.  Just mix it in.  I hope this helps some.
