I can't have any soy products. What can I use in place of tofu?

Well, for what reason are you eating tofu? Because you like it, or because you want to go vegetarian? As an inexpensive meat substitute? I enjoy it about once a year. If you are not concerned about eating animal protein, use chicken in most cases.
My wife is allergic to any SOY and a bunch of other foods. The immediate substitutes are eggs, garbanzo & white beans, and cheese - specifically riccota, bulgarian feta (lower sodium) and cotija.
Have you ever heard of Burmese Chickpea Tofu? it's a thing and really good too -- here is a youtube link to recipe and demonstration.

Anything you'd use tofu in you could use this.
All with 0% soy! :-)
