How healthy is tofu scramble?
Scrambled tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein and is a complete protein, meaning it has all of the essential amino acids. Tofu also contains phytoestrogens that are protective against certain cancers like prostate cancer and breast cancer, and against heart disease.
Nutritionally, tofu offers much to love. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, half a cup of firm tofu offers 21.8 grams of protein with 181 calories and 11 grams of fat. Most of that fat is of the healthy polyunsaturated kind. The high level of protein makes tofu a good alternative to animal-derived meat.
In case you’re wondering which is healthier, eggs or tofu, the match-up is surprisingly close. If you compare them per serving (1 egg to a 3.5-ounce serving of tofu), the tofu has a similar amount of calories and slightly more protein. Here’s how they stack up: Calories: egg = 78 | tofu = 70.
