does black chana have protein - #23771
I am trying to figure out if black chana has protein or not. A few weeks ago, I decided to go vegetarian because I've heard a lot about the health benefits and all that. Anyway, I was at the grocery store and saw this bag of black chana. I remembered my friend saying that does black chana have protein, so I thought, hey, why not give it a try, right? I cooked it up with some spices and honestly, it was delish. But now I’m not sure if I’m making a good choice for my diet. I've read mixed things online, like some sites say, yes, it does have protein and others say it's not enough for someone reducing meat. Honestly, I’m kinda worried because I don’t wanna miss out on protein especially since I'm used to eating meat. What if I’m depending too much on black chana? Does black chana have protein compared to other legumes, and like, how much do I really need to eat to get enough? I read somewhere that 100 grams has about 20 grams of protein but then again, can my body really absorb that well? I just wanna make sure I’m getting what I need without going overboard. Thanks for any advice!
