About This Food

Fried tofu, a popular ingredient in many Asian cuisines, especially common in vegetarian and vegan diets, offers a satisfyingly crispy texture. The calories in fried tofu is 76.6. It provides a good source of plant-based protein and iron. It also contains calcium. However, the frying process can increase its fat content. Generally, it's suitable for most people in moderation, but those watching their fat intake should be mindful of portion sizes. A moderate serving, such as 100-150g per day, can be included as part of a balanced diet. Depending on preparation methods, fried tofu can be neutral for weight management or contribute to weight gain if consumed in large quantities regularly. To lower the fat content, try baking or air-frying tofu instead.
