the adding of tofu/soy isn't going to increase weightloss. It is what it is replacing. If you are going to eat a soy burger over a big old juicy fat laden quarter pounder hamburger then yay for you. But if you plan on eating both then boo for you. It all comes down to calories in and calories burned.

Tofu is natural, but I recommend getting the organic tofu. Also, tofu is made from soy beans, so it technically is soy. I don't know if it will help with weight loss, necessarily, but it's filled with protein, calcium and other good stuff.
I'm sure I could say more, but there are some good sites on the Internet, especially after doing a search for "tofu nutrition" or "tofu health" will yield decent results.
Unfortunately, I'm quite sleepy today and I'm not thinking straight, or I could probably help you more.

You should take out the cow's milk altogether, use fat free or light tofu, and replace the pinapple with anything else. Maybe like peaches or strawberries or an orange or 2. Pinapple is really high calorie. And you should put some psyllium husk in it. Fiber is awesome in shakes because it's good for you and kinda gives you that fuller feeling? I'm guessing 7 points is for Weight Watchers? How many points are you allowed in one day? Hemp protein is the sh*t. You should check it out, and Hemp Hearts. Put some flax seeds in your shake? Good luck : ) Check out milksucks.com.

I don't think so.
