Tofu!?!?

I have found that tofu isn't that bad, and for me it doesn't bother me like other foods (meat). I'm thinking of just dropping meat all together now. Has anyone else tried this, or done the switch. If so, have any recipes?

Tofu is a great source of protein, but before dropping all meat, please talk with your nutritionist about what other nutrients you need in your diet to stay healthy.

Protein content in tofu:

One half-cup serving of raw firm tofu contains 10.1 grams of protein. The recommended daily intake is 56 grams for most men and 46 for most women. A half-cup of tofu is approximately 4 oz by weight, or just under 1/3 of the average sized 14 oz package of tofu. By comparison, 1/2 cup dairy milk contains 5.1 grams of protein, one 3 oz egg contains 6 grams and 4 oz ground beef contains about 26 grams of protein. Tofu is an excellent source of vegetarian protein.

Calories in tofu:

One half-cup serving of raw firm tofu contains 94 calories. By comparison, 4 oz ground beef contains 331 calories, 1/2 cup of 2% milk has 60 calories and 4 oz of cheese packs 320 calories.

Any recipe you have or find can be converted to using Tofu, it's a Great Protein alternative and if it calls for rice try Quinoa, it's healthier than rice.

Problem is Society is all about eating meat :( When a plant based diet is much healthier in general.
