What is this food?
Soybean cheese, soft curd (tofu-like soy curd/soy cheese). It’s a soft, protein-rich soy product made from soybeans.
Why it matters to health
Good for protein—it helps you build and maintain muscles and keeps you full between meals. In a 100 g serving, it has about 89 kcal and 5.4 g total fat with 0.5 g saturated fat, plus small carbs (2 g) and fiber (0.4 g). It also has low sodium (about 48 mg) and some sugar (0.6 g), which is usually fine when eaten as part of balanced meals. If you’re watching salt or cholesterol from other foods, pairing this with less salty viands and sauces can help keep your overall day balanced.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a protein add-on in your 3 meals (e.g., with vegetables and rice in proper portions).
- For snacks, try a small serving (about 50–100 g) with fruit or veggies to round out your plate.
- Choose light seasonings: go easy on soy sauce, bagoong, and salty dips since these can raise sodium quickly.
- Balance the meal: add non-starchy vegetables and a reasonable portion of carbs (rice, noodles, or root crops) so you get energy without overdoing starch.
Common Filipino dishes
