how much calories in 100 gm soya chunks - #41470
I am really trying to figure out my diet lately and I keep hearing about these soya chunks. Like, I heard they are healthy but also kinda curious about the calories? I mean, how many calories in 100 gm soya chunks? I found some conflicting info online, some say it’s super low, while others make it seem like it's, like, not so great after all. Last week, I tried to make a stir-fry using them hoping to add more protein into my meals, but I wasn't sure if I was making a good choice, ya know? I've had some issues with bloating and digestive stuff lately, and I’m wondering if it could be because of these soya chunks? Or if its just me not cooking them right? Ugh, I don’t know. My friend who's into fitness told me they’re a great source of plant-based protein and that they must be low in calories, which sounds good. But I, like, really want to stay on top of my calorie intake. Can anyone tell me with confidence how much calories in 100 gm soya chunks? Or share any tips on incorporating them into meals without, like, overwhelming myself with calories?

Certainly! In 100 grams of soya chunks, you’re looking at around 345-375 calories. They are indeed high in protein, with roughly 50-54 grams in that same quantity, making them an excellent plant-based source. Such high protein content is beneficial for muscle building and overall health, which is why it’s quite popular among fitness enthusiasts. However, it’s the calorie count that varies slightly based on brand and preparation methods.
When it comes to digestion, soya chunks can lead to bloating and digestive discomfort in some individuals, particularly if you have a sensitive stomach or are not used to consuming high-fiber foods. Soya chunks are quite fibrous and, if not cooked properly, might cause such issues. Usually they need to be soaked in water for at least 15-20 minutes before cooking, which makes them soft and more digestible. Overcooking or under-soaking can contribute to digestive problems.
In Ayurveda, soya is considered a somewhat heavy food due to its dense nutritional profile and fibrous nature. It might not be suitable for those with a weak digestive fire (agni). For someone experiencing digestive troubles or Vata imbalance, it can be helpful to cook soya chunks with spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel, which help in digestion. Additionally, ginger can also be very beneficial in making them more digestible.
When incorporating soya chunks in your meals, it’s important to balance your dietary intake with light and easy-to-digest foods. Pair them with vegetables and include healthy fats like ghee to pacify the Vata and enhance digestion. Eating in moderation and listening to your body’s signals can help you determine just the right portion size for you. If digestive issues persist, it may be worthwhile to consult with a healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner.
