How many calories do tofu products have?

Question

are there differences in tofu products calory wise

Answer 1

how hard is it to read the label?

Answer 2

It varies widely from brand to brand and from formulation to formulation.  Plain tofu will have fewer calories, of course, than the packaged flavored tofu that you just heat and eat.  As someone else pointed out, read the freaking label!

Answer 3

Tofu is about 70 calories per hundred grammes.

But it does depend on what tofu you buy. I buy Cauldren marinated tofu which is about 362 for a pack.

Answer 5

I buy the Earnest Bean Co's smoked tofu which has about 187 calories per 100g.

Don't rely on calories to count your energy though - the energy your body obtains from the food is a result of an infinitely complex set of reactions involving other nutrients too. Coconut water, which only has 16.7 calories per 100g, is being marketed as a sports drink. Broccoli measures at 30 cal/100g, yet it gives you far more energy than, say, a McDonalds quarterpounder which nutrition sheets show as containing 430 cal/100g. Bananas are also highly energising on account of their high mineral content, especially potassium.

The calorie (or kilojoule) count is simply a measurement of how long the food takes to burn when in your body - it does not measure usable energy to the body, and it does not take into account the energy your body expends to deal with all the toxins and pathological load from the food.

Hope this helped...

Answer 6

I am not sure about the calories, but I am vegan and all I know is that tofu is healthier than meat.

But I have never seen a fat vegetarian, so I don't think tofu has many calories. I eat it all the time and I'm not fat, even with the amount of sweets I eat:)

Hope this helps
