Can Tofu Help With Weight Loss?

Finding a healthy weight loss formula can be tricky. While the benefits of some healthy foods are debated among experts, the benefits of tofu are clear. Tofu is an excellent substitute for animal protein because it contains nearly as much protein when compared serving-to-serving. But the major upside of this protein is that it has a fraction of the calories of animal meat. By substituting healthy tofu recipes for some of your traditional protein meals, it’s easier to lose weight because you will be consuming fewer calories.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Tofu?

Tofu is known as being a good source of protein, but what about its other benefits? In addition to being a great alternative to meat, tofu, like that found in this vegan tofu scramble recipe, is packed with other nutritional benefits that can improve your health. Tofu is an excellent source of protein, and also contains all nine essential amino acids, iron, calcium, and other important vitamins.

What do all of those ingredients do? They can help lower your cholesterol, improve your memory and brain health, aid in weight loss, and strengthen your bones. They can even help lower cholesterol and the risk for some diseases, like breast and prostate cancer.
