Yes, I can get good tofu. YOu just bake it? In one chunk? I never thought of that. sounds good as I don't like to cook. I toss a tablespoon of soy flour into my morning egg whites, whip like crazy, and make a sort of no-carb pancake, and top with warmed fresh fruit and a dab of yogurt. Outstanding!
Ah the weight problem. My solution is the Zone Diet, which you can do with soy products as well as other protein sources. Small amounts of protein at each meal, as I mentioned above, balanced with a great many veggies, some fruit. I got to a plateau and stopped losing, so added a piece of bread now and then and the pounds resumed their downward march. It's the balance of protein/carbs/fats that does it. Essentially, it's a low carb diet but you almost cannot eat all the low-glycemic carbs suggested. Sugar is a big no-no.
When I get tofu I usually press it a little to get more water out, and then slice it and bake to get some chew.
I can't be scientific about anything, but I know when I cut out sweet stuff (doing it now) I lose weight rather painlessly. Sweet stuff usually has other fattening things in it too like butter and frosting.
