A half cup of edamame is 120 calories with 11g protein and 5g fiber. Those are bonkers macros. It’s also one of the few complete sources of protein that doesn’t come from an animal source. It’s a strong source of omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants, it’s chock full of vitamin K and folate. This is an incredibly nutritious source of macro- and micronutrients.
Some people are concerned about raising their estrogen from eating too much edamame. You would have to eat a massive amount of soy to increase your estrogen. Your hormones naturally regular themselves at a 1:1 ratio of testosterone to estrogen anyhow, so if you increase your estrogen your testosterone would increase.
