Answers:
If you have silken tofu you can put some in a blender with bananas, strawberries, and other fruit!. Add a little soy milk and natural sweetener and Voila! Protein fruit smoothie!.
I like to make scrambled tofu with the extra firm stuff!. First drain tofu and press as much moisture out as you can!. Sautee half an onion in 1 TBS!. oil on medium heat until onion is soft!. Add some minced garlic and crumbled tofu!. Add spices like garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper!. Saute on medium high until tofu starts to brown!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i can't think of anything less appealing for breakfast!.
anyway, peanut butter and other nut butters (almond, cashew, etc) are good sources of protein!.
Seed pastes (like tahini) are also good sources of protein!. you might be able to incorporate them with the tofu!.
i'm also pretty sure bulgur (kinda like an oatmeal) is a protein (but check)
with all that said, zone diet is a bad ideaWww@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu scramble is a popular vegan breakfast dish similar to scrambled eggs!. Although this recipe calls for onions and green peppers, try adding some mock meat crumbles, or experiment with different vegetable combinations, such as spinach, mushrooms and green onions!. The possibilities for tofu scramble are endless! Try a curried tofu scramble with spinach or this cayenne spicy tofu scramble!. Wrap in a flour tortilla for an easy breakfast burrito!.

You are trying to mix one strict diet with another strict diet!. It's not going to work!. Especially if you are going to cross beans off your list!!
I hated tofu, as a vegetarian, so I didn't eat well!. I had to give it up because my health was fading!. I hear you can prepare it like scrambled eggs though!.
For breakfast, I have soymilk, a banana and 1/2 serving of almonds!.
If you wanna drop weight you've got to look into what you are eating!. You may be consuming too much fat in the way of nuts or oils!. Or you could be eating a little too much starch, like I always did!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soft tofu in a fruit smoothie is a really easy choice, and also there are some soy yogurts that are pretty high in protein!. Otherwise, some meat alternatives like veggie sausage patties by Morning Star are really good!. I'm not sure if they work for the Zone though!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
tofu doesn't have a taste on its own but you could make it into a scramble like eggs!. as far as making it sweet!?!?!? I have no clue!.
I adore tofu especially when it's made fresh! If your nontraditional about breakfast you could fry it and drizzle with a little terriyaki sauce!.
