how many grams of protein in chana - #23583
I am really confused about something and I hope you guys can help me. A few weeks ago, I started this new diet to eat healthier and I keep hearing about how important protein is, especially for me since I’m trying to gain some muscle. I came across chana, which is chickpeas, right? Anyway, I thought I'd incorporate it into my meals more. But now I’m not sure about how many grams of protein in chana I should expect. Like, I've seen articles saying different amounts and it’s kinda frustrating. I usually cook it in curries or salads, but I don’t know if that affects the protein content. I tried to do the math on how many grams of protein in chana I’d need each day, especially since I’m working out and all. Honestly, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm getting enough or if I need to add in more chicken or fish or whatever. The other day, I had a whole cup of it and felt like I was doing a good job but then my friend mentioned something about the cooking process changing the protein content. Do you guys know how many grams of protein is in chana when it’s cooked versus raw? I just want to find out if I should be aiming for more chana in my diet or if it’s not really enough for my goals. Help!
