    I have tofu pretty much every day, I put it on my lunch salad (from work cafeteria) because chicken breast makes me gag. I like the texture and the protein and the lack of calories :)

    LOVE tofu. One of my favorites is mapo tofu. I also love tofu stuffed red peppers.

    Tofu is a low-calorie, high-protein food, which will satisfy you longer than high-fat foods. It has 10g of protein (per 1/2 cup) and is a great source of calcium. Just a half of a cup accounts for 43 percent of the average daily calcium intake!

    Quick Recipe Idea: Firm tofu is great for marinating. Toss 2 oz of cubed tofu in 2 TBSP of teriyaki and 1/4 tsp pepper, then bake it for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees. Mix it with your favorite veggies—like bean sprouts, cabbage and carrots—and roll it in a La Tortilla Factory 100-calorie tortilla for a delicious meal that's under 300 calories.

    Gee I like this. I gotta try it.

    I've been told that it's better to consume non-gmo/organic tofu

    I once ate organic tofu and got lice and a staph infection due to the lack of added pesticides and antibiotics.
