Tofu is incredibly protein dense - on par or surpassing chicken breast.

According to Wikipedia and Google, tofu [1] has 8% protein, while chicken [2] has almost 31%.

Is there some more finesse required in the exact variety of tofu that you mean?

Just press all the water out of tofu you want and you, too, can get it to whatever percentage protein you want.

Water does not matter in the ratio of protein versus fat.
