Tempeh - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tempeh

• Metabolic Effect: Because tempeh is made from fermented soybeans, its protein is much easier to digest than regular soy products. The fermentation process supports gut flora and improves iron absorption.
• Consumption Suggestion: Slice tempeh thinly, pan-fry it in olive oil and use it just like chicken in rice dishes or wraps. Marinating it with soy sauce, garlic and lemon before grilling gives the best flavor with minimal effort.
• Things to Consider: People with soy allergies should avoid tempeh, and those new to it should start with small portions to avoid bloating. Anyone with thyroid conditions should check with their doctor before adding soy-based foods regularly to their diet.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 193 kcal in 100g of tempeh, you would need about 48 minutes of moderate-paced walking. Alternatively, 30 minutes of cycling at a steady pace covers the same amount.
