Tofu: Calorie Intake and Weight Management
The calorie-content of Tofu is relatively
low. So if you are interested in following a calorie-controlled diet in
order to normalize your body weight, regular consumption of Tofu is fine.
Also, remember that increased calorie expenditure balances increased intake,
and helps maintain an efficient metabolism.
Calorie Counting Has Limits
Although it's important to know the calorific
values of soy foods like Tofu, in order to be aware which ones are especially
calorie-dense, the nutritional value of food is also important. Some carbohydrate
foods and essential fats may be higher in calories but even so are very
important for your health and weight.
Please Note: Calorie values for Tofu are
approximate only.
