how many soya chunks in 100 gm - #25008

Julian

I am really confused about my diet lately, especially with trying to incorporate more protein. I’ve been eating a lot of vegetarian meals, and I heard that soya chunks are super high in protein, which is great! But today, I was trying to measure out portions for lunch, and I found myself wondering how many soya chunks in 100 gm actually? Like, is there a specific number I should look for? I bought a pack, and they seem really lightweight, so I feel like it’s hard to gauge. I looked online, but then got conflicting info – ugh! I sometimes get really dizzy and have low energy, and I wonder if I'm just not getting enough protein or if it's something else. Plus, I love cooking them, but just want to make sure I'm using the right amount. How do I figure out the right portion sizes for meals? I really appreciate any input on how many soya chunks in 100 gm because I'm feeling a bit stuck here!

When it comes to soya chunks, it's easy to see why there might be some confusion. They are indeed very lightweight, usually expanding significantly when cooked. In 100 grams of dried soya chunks, you typically have around 120 to 150 individual pieces, depending on the brand and size variations! Soya chunks are great for protein, about 52 grams per 100 gm, which could help address some of the low energy and dizziness you mentioned – these could be signs of a protein deficiency, but it would be good to consider other nutritional aspects too. However, apart from protein, it's crucial to balance your meals according to your Ayurvedic constitution or dosha. If you're feeling dizzy frequently, it could be related to what Ayurvedic texts would describe as an imbalance often found in Vata types, which benefit from grounding and nourishing foods. Include foods that are warm, oily, and slightly heavy, like ghee, warm milk, and cooked grains to help balance Doshic energies. As for portion sizes, they depend on your dietary needs. Generally, one meal portion of soya chunks could be about 25 grams (dry weight), which would swell up nicely when hydrated and cooked – think along the lines of a cup of cooked chunks. Include a variety of plant-based protein sources like legumes and lentils to ensure a complete amino acid profile and sustain energy levels. Don't forget to add vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats to your meals for balance and satiety. Cook them with grounding spices like ginger and turmeric which support digestion. If dizziness persists or becomes problematic, it's advisable to seek a consultation with a healthcare professional. It could be more than just diet-related, so eliminating other possibilities is important. And finally, enjoy the cooking process and experiential learning about suitable portion sizes; over time, you'll refine what works best for your unique constitution.
