can we eat 100 gm soya chunks daily - #43904
I am feeling really confused about my diet lately. I've been reading up on health and nutrition, and I keep coming across the idea that we can eat 100 gm soya chunks daily. I mean, I love the taste and the texture of soya chunks, and they are a great source of protein! But I worry if eating that much is actually good for me. A few weeks ago, I started adding them to my meals regularly, thinking it’ll help with my protein intake since I'm trying to shift to a more plant-based diet. Now, my digestion has been a bit funny lately—some bloating and, honestly, a little gas too! I’m also not sure if 100 gm is a lot? Like, can our body handle that every day without any issues? I even asked my friends, and the info is all over the place, some say it's fine but others think moderation is key. Do you think can we eat 100 gm soya chunks daily or should I dial it back? I really want to make sure I'm eating right, but I also don’t wanna miss out on all the benefits! Would love to hear your thoughts or any personal experiences you guys have had with including soya in your diets! Thanks!

Consuming 100 gm of soya chunks daily can actually be a beneficial addition to your diet, given their high protein content and nutritional value. However, it’s important considering individual constitution or prakriti, which may significantly affect how your body reacts. As you might be experiencing issues like bloating and gas, it might be worth exploring if this amount suits your digestive, fire or, as we say in Ayurveda, ‘Agni.’
Soya is considered to be ‘Guru’ or heavy to digest, primarily increasing the earthy and watery qualities in your system. For vata dosha, which tends to have light and mobile qualities, this heaviness might be grounding but could also lead to digestive discomfort like bloating or gas if consumed in excess. Pitta types can generally handle the heaty nature of soya., though moderation is recommended for kapha types as it can increase ‘Kapha’ qualities like heaviness and coldness in the body.
I’d suggest trying to cut back to around 50 gm a day to start off with. See how your body responses with this amount. Including spices like ginger, cumin or black pepper in your meals can help improve digestion and mitigate any bloating or gas. Consider supplementing your soya intake with other protein-rich sources like lentils, chickpea, or nuts to diversify your diet and reduce potential unwanted effects.
Furthermore, ensure your overall diet includes enough variety and balance, with each meal supporting your individual constitution and health goals. Drink warm water, herbal teas, and prefer freshly cooked food, as these encourage a strong and balanced digestive fire—crucial in Ayurveda for overall health. Bear in mind that legumes and soya products can affect the ‘Vata’ dosha; having them at lunch when digestion is strongest might be more suitable.
Remember, everyone’s body is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. Listening to your body’s signals is key to achieving optimal balance and health.
