I wish someone would answer this , as I am vegetarian and totally depend on tofu and soy for most of my protein. Good Luck!!

Tofu is a great source of protein. I use both the firm (stir fried), and soft (makes a great base for a protein smoothie, with a bit of yogurt, skim milk, fruit and protein powder). Use it any way after surgery that you did pre-op.

As far as types of protein, soy is not #1 - whey is, but a nutritionist would be the one to ask the exact differences and if soy is good enough.

As a vegetarian, I enjoy tofu often. There's nothing as delicious as spicy tofu at a chinese restaurant! Enjoy!

I eat stir-fried tofu with eggplant in garlic sauce once a week from Panda Express. It's yummy & a great source of protein. I rely on my shakes for most of my protein (whey) but this is a treat with added protein for me.

we use extra-firm tofu just like you would pasta. you can slice it up into pieced about the size of macaroni. we make it into baked ziti and mac and cheese. you wouldn't know the differenc. the key is to bake til crusty on top. enjoy!
