Why your meal works so well
1. Excellent protein balance
• Tofu + edamame → complete plant protein with all essential amino acids
• Fermented soybeans (natto) → protein + probiotics for gut health
This combo supports muscle, energy, and satiety.
2. Healthy fats
• Extra virgin olive oil provides monounsaturated fats
• Helps absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and supports heart health
3. Powerful micronutrients
• Cherry tomatoes (cooked & skin off) → higher lycopene absorption
• Fermentation improves mineral bioavailability (iron, zinc)
• Chili flakes may help circulation and metabolism
4. Smart preparation
• Cooking tomatoes = better lycopene uptake
• Olive oil + tomatoes = perfect pairing nutritionally
• Serving oil at the end preserves antioxidants
