Yes in moderation soya chunks are fine, good protein actually. Just don't overdo it daily, keep variety in ur protein. I had them maybe twice a week, no issue.

I made soya chunks curry sometimes, tasty and filling. Cook it properly and soak well. In moderation it's fine, if u want exact diet portions ur gynac or dietician can guide better.

I added soya chunks for protein since i was watching my diet during pregnancy. In normal quantity it's good. Don't eat huge amounts everyday though, balance it with dal, eggs, paneer etc.

I keep soya moderate because of my PCOS, some say too much soy isn't ideal. A normal serving here and there is okay i think, but maybe just run it past ur doctor for ur case to be safe.
