Six Small Meals a Day, 250 cals each

Hey Roxy,
I actually prefer tempeh over tofu and what I do is cut it into cubes or strips and then marinate it (again with the white wine, but you could use soy sauce, or whatever flavors you like.) If cubed you can grill it on skewers and it is nice and "meaty." In strips I add it to a pasta dish or just some sort of sauce. Tempeh is also a soy product but it is fermented and less processed.

Garbanzo beans (canned, no salt, organic) are also a great easy meal, just heat up with some sort of tomato sauce.

As for tofu, there is a great brand made here locally in SD (named something like San Diego Tofu). I like to crumble it up and toss it in a pan with scallions, tomato -- whatever -- for a tofu scramble. The trick to tofu in this manner is to press the water out of it; wrap it in a couple of clean dishtowels and lean on it. Then it will crumble or slice nicely.

Whole foods has a sort of tofu scramble that they sell in the deli -- try a bit there to see if you like it.
