I just drizzle them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and can eat them straight or sometimes mixed into a salad. But, how bad are the carbs from chickpeas? If I'm eating say a cupful or maybe cup and half of them for lunch, should I probably be limiting carbs elsewhere during the day? I'm in my mid-40s and carbs cling to me like there's no tomorrow and while i know chickpeas tend to be high in carbs, I try to tell myself they're the good kind of carbs. lol. But seriously--is it going overboard on carbs to eat these every day?
the oil is worse than the carbs.
No, not true! It's not the 1990s.
It’s about calorie load. If OPs goal of weight loss, eating a whole can or more of chickpeas plus a couple spoonfuls of olive oil, is 500+ calories. Is this a snack? Part of a meal? The meal in entirety? It could be ok or it could contribute to too many calories eaten throughout the day.
