Tofu! Who knew?

[FishingNurse 1,210]

I wanted to share that I went out to lunch with co-workers to Noodles and Co. I ordered a side of tofu with teriyaki sauce on it. It was like 3 dollars and it tatsted so good!! I have enough left over for 2 more meals. Its a great soft texture and its high in protein!! All you people in the mushy food stage should try this! yum!

Oh yeah. Tofu saved my fanny early on, since I couldn't tolerate Protein Shakes. I added a bunch to some Chinese hot and sour Soup broth, and it was delicious!

There are many types of tofu: firm, soft, super-soft. You can freeze tofu and then defrost it. That gives it a great texture for salads. You can use the soft and super-soft in smoothies (mixed with fruit and splenda/equal). It also is possible to find low-fat tofu. There is a brand of tofu that is freeze-packed and does not require refrigeration: Mori Nu Tofu. It can be helpful to take along to work. Tofu is an excellent source of Protein and relatively low in calories. I am pre-surgery but am planning to take advantage of tofu as a protein source post-surgery because it is soft and easy to digest. Tofu was an essential part of my past weight-loss programs. I recommend it, assuming you are not allergic to it.
