  1. I will stick with a nice flame broiled steak for my protein and some brocolli on the side for my fiber :)

  2. Steak and broccoli is good but remember when compared 4oz of steak hold more calories than 4oz of tofu. Plus, by eating tofu you are consuming 860 mg of calcium per 4 oz serving and getting dietary fiber.
