how much protein in 100g of chana - #23944
I am really trying to figure out how much protein in 100g of chana because I’ve been on this diet that focuses on plant-based proteins. My nutritionist said chickpeas are a great source, so I started cooking up a storm with chana. I made chana masala, roasted chana snacks, and even hummus, but I can’t get a clear answer. Like, I checked a few sites and they say different things about how much protein in 100g of chana. It’s frustrating! Sometimes it says around 8 grams, other times it says close to 20. I even thought maybe they counted the cooked vs uncooked, you know?... but I used dried, soaked them, and then cooked them. I feel like I’m going around in circles here! I’m keeping track of my protein intake because I’m aiming for a certain amount daily, and chana is such a big part of it now. I really wanna make sure I’m calculating it correctly. Also, does the cooking method change the protein content significantly? Really need clarity on how much protein in 100g of chana before I end up on a wild goose chase trying to find the right nutrition info! Anyone else dealt with this?
