Does anyone work with tempeh, seitan, soy curls, etc.? I have tried these items occasionally but am unsure if they are even healthier or low in calories.

The zucchini noodles are an awesome sub for carby noodles. It works well in Italian dishes (and I even have my Italian boyfriend asking for them!). For me, I don't like spaghetti squash with more than just cheese or a light cream sauce. Something about the sweetness of the squash doesn't work with marinara for my palate.
I used to eat a lot of tempeh, seitan, mycoprotien, TVP, etc, but I'm gluten free now, so I only buy them once in a while for the kiddo for emergency food in pre-made nugget, burger, sausage, or sandwich form.
