Is Tofu a good replacement to meat and chicken? I've noticed that they are increasingly using it on cooking shows.
Soy (Tofu is cured and shaped soy bean curds) isn't good for men in ammounts in soy protein over 25-35 grams. After that amount the body will start to metabolize it diffrently and estrogen compounds called phytoestrogens will be metoblized in that process. Nothing wrong with Tofu Evrey once in a blue moon (I eat it once a month just to switch it up), but avoid that shit if you can. Also almost all commercial protein bars use shitty soy protein as its protein source. Some cleans exsist like Quest but its another thing to keep in mind.
Soy is a garbage crop. Its only useful if its fermented and the phytoestrogens and other junk are leeched out.
Cooking shows like it because its fake healthy food, and its cheap.
