At that level your amino acid pool would run out very quickly and you would begin to cannibalize body tissues. Excess tofu consumption can be a concern for those with preexisting thyroid conditions and those that supplement heavily. However, the research here is weak at best. If you want to be on the safe side, consume tofu in moderation-no more than a couple servings per day. Resistance training is the best tool for increasing protein absorption in active tissues. And despite its thermic effect, excess protein does get stored as fat. Warmest Regards, Katherine Crawford Hi Suzie,
