What's everyone's thoughts on hummus? Do you consider it a good food to incorp. into a clean diet? I've been trying to eat hummus more and more. I just recently tried it and love it. However, I'm not sure how much is too much, etc. The kind I got expires on Saturday so I was planning on using it as a dip with crackers over the next few days.

hello
I make my own hummus... but basically I think its a great food to incorporate into your diet, check your label, but it should usually consist of:
Chick peas (protein, carbs and fibre!)
tahini (sesame seed paste - high in good fats)
and various herbs and spices - garlic, salt, lemon juice etc
i usually eat them with veggie sticks - carrots and celery
careful though, some of the store bought hummus dips contain a lot of fat
Here is a basic one which you might like to try:

Trader Joes Hummus
So you use trader joes hummus? I used to eat that alot, and it sure is yummy! As I recall, its pretty wholesome and has around 5 g of fat for 2 tablespoons or something like that...its been a long time though. I used to eat it when I wanted to spread my fat intake among several more meals throughout the day. Oooh, you can make your own healthy chicken shawarma plate too :P
