It's delicious as well. You might try mixing in a bit of lecithin too, as a nice little boost of healthy goodies and taste.

[taffer]

haha yeah, hummos is a staple in my diet, along with roast carrots....
and skordalia

Hummus is great. It's healthy and nutritious. It's basically made of chick-peas(Garbanzo beans), garlic, and tahini. All clean ingredients. Not to mention that it tastes incredible on some toasted Whole Wheat Pita Bread or as a dip for some veggies

[Deadhead96]

Its high in fat... Garbonzo beans?

1cup only has 4grams of fat, none of which is saturated

LOL hummus...


WTF is it

[eyeofthetiger]

hummus is a middle eastern dip (from lebanon) it consists of chick peas, tahini (which is a sesame seed paste) , garlic and abit of salt. It is a good source of essential fats and oils, a pretty good source of protein for a sauce/dip also, i make it myself and sprinkle some chilli powder on it, it tastes great with any kind of meat or just on its own with some brown lebanese bread

[thajeepster]

I use it all the time... i get athenos brand, its made with 100% virgin olive oil.. so you get some good healthy fats in there as well... i put it on sandwiches, chicken, toast, pitas, anything... eat it up.

Hummus is definitely safe for a cut.

If you want to make it as healthy, tasty, & cheap as possible make it yourself!

Here's how to do it:

-1 cup (14-16 oz) chick peas---> Rinse thoroughly in water & try removing soft shells from the outside to improve texture.
-1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (roughly 1 lemon)
-1/4 Tahini sauce
-1/4 water
-1 clove garlic
-Olive oil to preferred texture/taste (1/3 cup for me)
-Cumin to taste
-Salt and Pepper to taste

optional:
-smoked paprika
-pine nuts
-roasted red peppers
-get creative

only one of the greatest $hit of all time.

Hummus is great! Making your own is even better since you can control the ingredients. Chickpeas, tahini, a little olive oil, some lemon juice and chili flakes is my favorite way. It has good fats and fiber in addition to carbs and a bit of protein. I like it with my vegetables or on baked chicken.

I'm drunk, Julia. Don't judge me. Not bumping 6 year old threads. Dam kids these days.

Feelsrealgood. I hit 173 this morning and decided to have a bit of a "cheat" day, meaning I have no idea of my macros. I know I hit protein. I hit my alcohol macros too. P-205, F-80, A-drunk.


Ok, no more drunk posting. I love you, nutrition forum.

Hummus is a great way to help make raw veggies more tolerable.

I have a whole bowl full of raw veggies with me right now, eating with 200cal worth of hummus. The raw veggies and fat from the hummus do wonders for satiety with relatively few calories. < 400

[Gusthebus]

Was gunna say read stickies to OP but they didnt exist

[adamg8504]

OP, why don't you look at the ingredients and make a decision for yourself?

Haha, didn't notice. Oh well, maybe some of the other more recent posters will take the advice.

Is hummus a healthy snack dipped in carrots if your trying to lose weight? Is once a day too much as a snack?

GOOD LORD there have been some epic bumps the last week or so. Hummus is fine, fit it in your macros, move on

Didn't want to make a thread about it since it's already been discussed. Thanks.

U wot m8? Most store bought hummus has the oil sitting on top. Dude hummus has tons of olive oil fats in it...unless you make it yourself without tahini and olive oil. Like I said without tahini and olive oil.
