Sushi is a great source of Protein and goes down really easily, sashimi specifically. Any kind of seafood like halibut, talapia, sole, salmon (in moderation b/c of fat content), shrimp, scallops, tuna. Turkey meatballs are amazing, well-prepared tofu lightly seasoned or used in Soups is great and goes down easily, too. You can try hard-boiled or poached eggs (steer clear of scrambled for now). You could introduce mozzarella or cheddar cheese, sticks or Babybel-type. It could be good to start incorporating some cooked veggie like broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, steamed spinach, mushrooms, etc. Just be sure to get in protein first, and you may only be able to eat 2-3 pieces and feel full. Edamame is great, too, adds Fiber which you'll need!

I agree on Sashimi. It goes down real easy. Good meatballs without the Pasta are great. Corned beef hash, browned really well to a crust, is fantastic with a poached egg. Goes down effortlessly. Just did Ceviche last night. Easy to eat and great Protein.

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.
