how much protein in soaked chana - #23900

Karthik

I am really curious about this and need some help. I’ve started soaking chana because I heard its healthy and a great source of protein. But like, how much protein in soaked chana? I soaked a cup of chana overnight and then boiled it, thinking this would be an awesome addition to my diet but... honestly, I don't know if I’m getting enough protein from it. I mean, maybe I’m doing it wrong? I love using chana in salads and curries, but I read online that soaking changes the nutritional value but didn’t find much on how much protein in soaked chana specifically. The other day, I was making a chickpea salad and just kept thinking, if I eat this much, am I actually hitting my protein goals? I keep hearing people say you need like, a certain amount of protein per day but if I’m just snacking on chana, how much protein am I really getting? Just tried to track my intake and get confused about if I should eat more or less. Can anyone break down the protein content for me? Like, if I have say 100 grams of soaked chana, how much protein would that be? Also, does cooking affect how much protein in soaked chana? I feel like I’m spiraling here!

Doctors' responses

Soaked chana, also known as chickpeas, are indeed a great source of protein. A 100-gram serving of soaked, boiled chana generally contains about 8 to 9 grams of protein. Soaking and cooking don’t really change the protein content significantly, but these processes do make nutrients more bioavailable and can help with digestion. That could be why people say the nutritional profile changes; it’s more about your body being able to access the nutrients better. Protein needs vary between individuals, but a common guideline is about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for the average adult. If you weigh 70 kg, you’d need around 56 grams of protein a day. Considering your diet includes other sources of protein, a serving or two of chana could be a helpful component in reaching your daily targets. Cooking doesn’t reduce the protein in chana; the protein content remains stable. That said, if you’re aiming for specific protein goals, it might be useful to incorporate other protein sources alongside chana, such as legumes, dairy, or lean meats, depending on your dietary preferences. Including a variety of protein-rich foods in your meals is an effective strategy to meet daily needs. If your focus is on meeting a specific target, you might find it beneficial to keep a simple log of your intake and review it weekly to see if you need adjustments. Remember, though the goal is to hit your nutritional targets, the focus should also be on maintaining a balanced, sustainable diet overall.
