does soya chunks contain protein - #25123
I am really confused about this whole thing with soya chunks. I read somewhere that they’re super healthy and packed with nutrition, but then I hear people say they might not have as much protein as everyone claims. I’ve been trying to eat more plant-based foods, and for the past couple of weeks, I switched to a mostly vegetarian diet. I found these soya chunks and they’ve been a lifesaver because they're easy to cook and I can throw them into stir-fries, but now I'm worried! I used to think that does soya chunks contain protein was a simple yes or no question, right? But now I hear different things from friends who say things like “Oh, they’re not as protein-rich as you think” or “How much protein could they really have?” Last week at dinner, I made a giant soya chunk curry, and I felt like I was doing something good for my body. But when my sister started poking at the nutritional info, I started to doubt it. Does soya chunks contain protein in a meaningful way that actually helps with my diet? Or are they just kind of a filler food? I really want to make sure I’m getting adequate protein since I’ve cut meat, so any insights on does soya chunks contain protein, like how many grams or what to look for, would be awesome! Thanks!
