Plain fermented soybean tempeh. Denser than tofu in every way — roughly twice the protein and calories per 100g.

How does tempeh fit your goals?

Tempeh delivers a balanced macro profile (20.3g protein / 7.6g carbs / 10.8g fat per 100g), which makes it easy to fit into almost any tracking plan. Foods like this are particularly useful as base ingredients in meal prep, because they don't lock you into a specific macro split — you can pair them with whatever your daily target needs more of.

Diet-wise, tempeh fits low-carb eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Beyond the macros, tempeh pulls real weight on iron (15% DV) per 100g — the kind of micronutrient density that calorie counts alone don't show.
