If you’re tired of eating meat all the time on, tofu is a great source of  protein.

I eat tofu on occasion, and when I do, this is usually the way I enjoy it – crispy! 

If you’re on the 17 Day Diet, technically tofu is not on the list. However, its cousin tempeh is.

Same applies to the 17 Day Kickstart Diet.

I personally think tofu is fine to use on all cycles of the original diet.

If you want to stick by the book 100%, then use tempeh in this recipe. Keep reading as I’ll talk more about the Kickstart Diet in a bit.

At the end of the day, you do you!

More Vegetables for Cycle 3

Add Starches for Cycle 3

If you like your stir fry over rice or noodles, consider adding in the following if you’re on cycle 3 of the 17 Day Diet:

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry for the 17 Day Diet

This recipe can be eaten as is on all cycles of the 17 Day Diet. As I mentioned earlier, tofu is technically not on any food list (however, tempeh is), so you decide if you want to add tofu to your eating plan while on this diet.

Tip: if you want your broccoli to be super flavorful just as the tofu is, instead of steaming it, roast it up in your oven or air fryer to get those tasty little brown pieces that contain so much flavor!

If you’re not sure which foods are allowed during Cycle 1, make sure you take a look at my 17 Day Diet Cycle 1 Food List.

You can also check out my book on Amazon called Fast Track Your Weight Loss With the 17 Day Diet which has all the food lists (and a 7 day meal plan, too!).

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry for the 17 Day Kickstart Diet

Like the original diet, tofu is also not on the 17 Day Kickstart Diet Food List.

However, tempeh is, so you make the decision if you want to use this recipe with tofu or tempeh.

This recipe is fine to use on all phases of the Kickstart Diet.

Is this Stir Fry Keto Diet Friendly?

If you’re on a Keto Diet, then you too can enjoy this yummy stir fry! 

Depending on your individual macros, you may want to be careful about what you add in terms of vegetables (onions, mushrooms, etc).
