TOFU? Is tofu HEALTHIER than meat??

Question

My Husband bought some tofu burritos and now wants me to start eating them. He says that tofu is healthier than meat. Is that true? How is it healthier? I mean.. if he was a vegetarian I can understand him wanting to eat tofu but we eat meat all the time ..so is tofu a better choice and why? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Tofu IS healthier, but there's nothing wrong with extra-lean meat either:)  You should have some red meat (in moderation) each week to get the complex proteins and amino acids in there.   I'd be more concerned with the tortillas that the burritos are wrapped in - especially if they're fried!   Tofu is good and we eat it too, but it's no substitute for the taste of meat:)

Answer 2

yes it has less fat and more protein
