Abstract

The aim of the current study is to determine how soy products influence athletes performance in relation to their views of nutrition and health. Comparison of paneer, Bengal gram flour, Bengal gram and meat with the soy products, namely tofu, defatted soy flour, and soy chunks. The nutritional content of their products-paneer, Bengal gram flour, and Bengal gram—was reviewed and compared with that of tofu, defatted soy flour, and soy chunks. Success in sports is influenced by a variety of elements, and nutrition is one of them. The foods a sportsman needs to eat depend on a number of factors, such as the sport, goals, the surroundings, and pragmatic considerations. The significance of personalized nutrition counseling, encompassing daily nutritional guidance and targeted counseling prior to, during, and following training and/or competition, is becoming more widely acknowledged. Athletes employ many nutritional tactics to enhance their performance, with optimizing glycogen reserves being a crucial approach for numerous individuals. Consuming carbohydrates while exercising keeps blood sugar levels up, avoids hypoglycemia, and benefits the central nervous system. The advantages of consuming protein throughout the day after working out are now widely acknowledged.
