How much protein is in Tofu?
Tofu is a great source of plant based protein - but are you adding enough to your meals?
Ideally you want your main meals to contain around 20-30g protein each to help you feel fuller longer, maintain a lean physique and support muscle recovery.
Tofu contains about 9g protein per 100g.
Which means you should be eating at least 1/2 a pack (if not the whole pack) per meal to get adequate protein in.
Rather than just relying on one food source, using lots of different ingredients within a meal can help you achieve this protein target.
For example sweet potato + tofu + leafy greens + tahini + hemp seeds.
