Hommus hardly has any protein in it. Maybe a couple grams per serving


It has a ton of fiber though. Nothing wrong with hummus.


I guess it depends how much you eat. The hummus I currently have in my frig (Ithaca brand) has 1 gram of fiber and 2
gram of protein for a 2 tablespoon serving. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it isn’t really all that nutrient dense

Agree! All hail the mighty chickpea.


Eating plain chickpeas and eating hummus are not the same. Hummus is thinned considerable with water, oil, tahini. That is why 2 Tablespoons don't have much fiber or protein at all but a considerable amount of calories, depending on brand. You are better off eating a small bowl of chickpeas drizzled with olive oil and cumin. The smear of hummus on a carrot isn't adding much benefit to you.


And this right here is why I will never lose weight. Reading a discussion on the relative benefits of chickpeas v. hummus makes me want to stab myself.

I haven't heard of this. Where do you buy it?


Can buy it almost anywhere - CVS, Walgreens, Amazon, etc. All the taste of peanut butter with a fraction of the fat and calories.

Hard boiled eggs with a squeeze of sriracha - this really helps me feel satiated for a while

Plain yogurt with a TB of jam and a TB of ground flaxseed

I mean dishes with cabbage. If I am watching my calories, cabbage soup, cabbage everything. You can even make "pasta" using cabbage. Ok, no you can't, but if you are hungry and want a huge portion, substitute all or some of the pasta with cabbage cut in chunks. Pour that bolognese or what sauce you like and have as much as you can.
I also like to snack on some pumpkin seeds.
