I was aruging with my friend who eats only tofu and rice.

He believes that tofu provides all the proteins he needs, but I highly doubt it.

Any thoughts?

yeah its just........ eating tofu alone is not insanely healthy x_x you need to mix in other stuff, "balanced diet" and all

and most rices don't have a lot of redeeming nutritional value iirc, except maybe like brown rice

how the hell do you live on only tofu/rice, how long has your friend been doing this??

you need vegetables and such to balance it, but i believe it substitutes most meats (if not all) very well

Damn hes gonna get owned if he keeps that up. I doubt out of just tofu and rice he gets iron, calcium, Vitamin D, C, all the essential protein, carbohydrates and good fats.

not tofu is definitely not enough (unless you eat it in like immense quantities) since soy protein has quite a low assimilation(?) rate (of all the soy protein you eat iirc about 30% are broken down into amino acids and get delivered to your muscles)
also you really have to eat some veggies for the sake of your digestion and health of your stomach
Better to fast than eat of every meat, better to live alone than mate with all

Might want to check out this article: http://www.bullz-eye.com/furci/2004/021901.htm

The writer is a former body-builder. In the article he makes some statements about how soy protein can lower testosterone levels in men.

Tofu and rice is fine as the bulk of your food intake, although it's extremely boring and tasteless. There are still many essential vitamins and minerals missing there though.

A balanced diet is still the best way, don't let the vegetarians fool you.

vegetarians are so weird...

Do vegetarians that don't eat meat for ethical reasons value all walks of life equally? Do they trap mice, swat flies, slap mosquitos, or smash spiders? If so, I think that's rather hypocritical.
