I mash it up and add it to Ricotta cheese then I mix it with parmesan and motz cheese and 1 egg. I sometimes layer it with egg plant or lasagna noodles, or bake it as is. My family eats it and no one knows there is tofu in it. A 1/2 cup of extra firm tofu adds 19g of protein to what ever you are eating. I also mix it in with meatballs or meat loaf. I tell them that it is cheese. Tofu has no real taste it cooks up tasting like the spices you cooked it in. Good luck, Jeanne k Kelly,

That was one of the things I ate when I was first on soft protein foods (weeks 3 and 4). Turkey is good, too, and eggs. Since I wasn't eating pasta at 11 days post op (still don't eat pasta at almost 7 weeks post op) I made meatballs and ate those with spaghetti sauce minus the pasta. Some people have taken the sauce with meatballs and put it over ricotta cheese. Low fat string cheese is a good choice too. If you like split pea soup, that also has a lot of protein. In addition, you could try 1 protein shake a day. There are sites online that will list the protein in different foods. I found those to be very helpful. Good luck!
