I am getting it out of the Biggest Loser book.


3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 (15 oz) cans


1/2 c warm water


3 tbsp fresh lime juice


1 tbsp tahini


1 1/2 tsp ground cumin


1 tbsp garlic


1 tsp salt


2 tbsp fresh cilantro


 


It says: Makes 2 cups; 16 (2 tbsp) servings (would this really be all I can have?!?!)


So per the above tiny tiny serving:


54 calories; 3g protein; 8g carbs; 1g total fat; less than 1g sat fat; less than 1g polyunsat fat; 1g monosat fat; 0 mg cholesterol; 2g fiber; 112 mg sodium


Good???  Eaten w/ red pepper strips maybe?

Hi,


Typically hummus is limited to a 2 tablespoon serving size.
