Oh yeah I wholeheartedly agree! Mori-Nu is definitely the best I've tried by far Love the stuff!
But anyway, I got off my lazy butt and looked it up...
1/2 a package (2 slices) Mori-Nu Regular Firm Tofu has about 5g of fat and 104 calories, which is about 43% fat. (Also has 12g protein.)
The same amount of Mori-Nu Regular Firm LITE Tofu has about 1g of fat and 62 calories, which is about 14% fat. (11g protein.)
And, just for the sake of comparison, a similar amount of skinless chicken breast (2oz) has 2g of fat and 92 calories, which is about 19% fat. (Not to suggest that chicken breast would be a suitable substitute for tofu or anything, I don't eat the stuff myself anymore ) (17g protein - not that much more than the tofu!)
Again, the regular tofu would probably be ok for most people with a regular, low-fat meal - i.e. it would be pretty easy to bring the whole meal down to the 20-25% fat range with some rice and veggies.
