Tempeh: Protein, Calories & Full Nutrition Breakdown

Why Tempeh shows up in protein-forward diets

Made from fermented, whole soybeans rather than curdled soy milk like tofu, which is why it carries roughly 4x the fiber of tofu at a similar protein number.

Serving-size math

A 100g (about 1/2 block) portion delivers 19.0g of protein and roughly 192 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 9.9g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.

Prep tip

Steam for 10 minutes before marinating — raw tempeh has a bitter edge that steaming removes almost completely.
