    Question Chickpeas Or Kidney Beans?

    Both of these are really good and cheap sources of Rich Carbs and Proteins and almost no fat (boiled without salt).

    Personally I think Kidney beans are much better because they provide very few calories and good amount of proteins.

    And my question is that what do you guys think about Chickpeas? I am thinking to add little more variety to my diet.

    According to my research Chickpeas have more proteins/carbs and little more fat too than Kidney beans but Im concerned as they give almost 5 times more calories than kidney beans so might disturb your calorie intake.


    P.S: Please dont suggest Soy beans, they are not available in my country.

    I like grilled pure white fat and ice cream but I dont eat them. Well that was not my question, I was looking for expert nutritional analysis of the Chickpeas and Kidney beans for people who workout.

    For all those who are at bb, we dont eat what we like, we eat whats our requirement.

    lol first off chickpeas don't give 5x the calories. It's not even 2x the calories.

    Chickpeas are the best legume but they are both fine. Eat both.

    this.

    Fava beans have a bit more protein than either but I like black beans the best. All legumes are tasty IMO so I eat them all for variety.

    1. That's too bad.

    2. And you believe "what we like", and "what's required"...to be mutually exclusive? That's too bad, as well.

    This. Why the hell would anyone design a "lifestyle"/diet based on things they don't like to eat?

    Which Is Healthier: Kidney Beans or chickpeas and garbanzo beans ?

    Individuals who eat beans will in general weigh less, have lower circulatory strain and devour more basic supplements than individuals who don't eat beans, as indicated by an investigation distributed in 2008 in the "Diary of the American College of Nutrition." Beans are a cheap wellspring of fiber and protein and may bring down your hazard for elevated cholesterol, coronary illness, malignancy, diabetes and heftiness. Both kidney beans and garbanzo beans are nutritious yet contain various measures of basic supplements. Kidney beans might be somewhat more beneficial than the garbanzo beans, as they are higher in a portion of the basic supplements while being lower in calories and fat than the garbanzo beans.

    The simple answer is to use both so that you get protein from a variety of sources. There are plenty of bean salads etc that you can do. I regularly use a variation on Hummus with natural peanut butter subbed in for tahini which I like.
