Question about Tofu
Hello, My IP handout did not mention anything about using Tofu as a protein. Would this still be 8 ounces/day? I used Extra Firm sprouted tofu. Thank you for your help

Thank you Wuv. I don't know how I missed that in the approximately 100 times I have now read that sheet.

Is there a problem with tofu and 8 ounces not equaling 30-40g protein?
|
Not to my knowledge, as long as its 8oz it shouldn't matter. I don't worry about counting anything I just measure 8oz and 2 cups of veggies for lunch and dinner that is it

I juts found this.....Plain tofu has about 7-8 grs of protein per ounce of raw product so the dieter would want about 3-4oz to create a meal (around). be careful with some of the flavored tofu because they might have too many carbs (total carbs should be less than 5 gr per serving) also there are many soy "met products" our there like "tofurkey" etc. and the dieter should read the labels. Most of the "garden burgers" are UNACCEPTABLE as they have little protein (5-6 gr) and way too many carbs.

And yep, I look at labels constantly, and most the veggie meats have too many carbs and a lot of them have sugar in them, so I avoid them. Thanks, Wuv! |

As an FYI, the extra firm sprouted tofu I use:
3 oz serving 1 gr carbs 90 calories 5 grams fat 9 grams protein So, 8 oz would be about 8oz 5.2 gr carbs 234 calories 13 grams fat 23 grams of protein |
Thanks, anyway, Wuv. :) I'll look to see if I can find it. Mostly if I use Tofu, I add in some extra egg whites during the day in my shakes to make up for the lesser amount of protein.
