Re: Is tofu skin good for you?wiki says 50–55% protein, 24–26% lipids (fat), 12% carbohydrate, 3% ash, and 9% moisture but the source page no longer exists and this isn't for fried so you'd need to add on the nutrition of however much oil it takes in- or get some and read the packet.
Tofu is about 10% carb, 40% protien, 50% fat so it compared favorably if the frying doesn't make is **** full of fat -

Yeah, somebody deep fried it in Canola oil. That can't be good

I'd go with you probably shouldn't really eat anything fried, at least not things you haven't shallow fried in some nice oil yourself
