I think you can afford to stir-fry tofu without it getting too bad for you.
As far as healthy snacks go, I recommend red apples, baby carrots and celery - not all together necessarily, but basically anything with a crunch. Trail mix is also delicious.

This one man I knew ate tofu and kimchi for a month and lost lots of weight.

Mapo dofu is amazing, but overloading soy isn't good for you either.
99% of search results on soy are from stupid "natural food" blogs, but this should be a good guideline.

4. Eat soy in moderation. Tofu and other soy foods are an excellent red meat alternative. But don't go overboard; 2 to 4 servings a week is a good target. And stay away from supplements that contain concentrated soy protein or extracts, such as isoflavones, as we just don't know the long term effects.

Boil tofu with a meat or vegetable broth, then take it out and eat it.
Stuff tofu with spices/flavor food.

firm tofu you can basically stir fry with anything.
there's a kind of dessert-style soft tofu which is very good but probably unhealthy (large amounts of syrup).
for specific dishes, i think sundubu is great, as is mapodoufu, which is pretty easy to make and so you can control the amount of salt and soy sauce you use.

something i do sometimes is coat tofu with egg and then cook it on a pan. Still unhealthy i guess but better than deep frying it.

Ways I eat tofu in Japan:
- uncooked with soy sauce. If you are worried about soy sause you can use ponzu, which is soy sauce and vinigar
- as part of any hot pot. Take a pot, fill with broth, add tofu, veg, and meat (unless sissy artosis is over) and eat.
- in miso soup. miso, water, tofu, bean sprouts, onion, and eat!
- mabdofu as mentioned above
- pan fried life scrambled eggs. It works, trust me.
That is all i can think about. Ill go ask the wife, she knows better than me.

I heard pork rinds were actually not too bad for you vs potato chips. I think they have protein instead of carbs and don't have any of the bad fats. Just something I read.
You can get air popped popcorn for snacking as long as you don't put any stuff on it, it's really good for snacking.
At work I snack on unsalted nuts: almonds, cashews, misc nuts. They're filling and reduce my urge to snack.
Water's good in general, and sometimes I just drink water because I'm bored and sorta feel like snacking. (I don't know if that's a good thing.)
Oh yeah and fruit

You kidding, it has loads of fat, a lot more sodium each serving compared to potato chips and of course high in* cholesterol.
Nuts are a great snack between each meal.

What my parents always did was they actually froze the tofu, and then cooked it in a soup with pork meatballs + scallions and Napa Cabbage. Tasted so good <3
Very good with miso too.

At home mom make this dish:

Add salt/Garlic/seasonings
Add water/tofu, boil, condense water, throw tapioca powder in the end to tight things up.
