Is Chickpea Curry Good for Weight Loss?

High-fiber legumes like chickpeas can help you reach your weight-loss goals. Legumes are known for their high concentration ofvegetarian protein, fiber and key vitamins and minerals. A1/2 cup of cooked chickpeasprovides a whopping 6 grams of dietary fiber. It is well-known that increasing your dietary fiber intakemay help in your weight-loss journey. The 7 g of protein you’ll get from a 1/2 cup of cooked chickpeas can also help you feel fuller, which is an effective method for weight management.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
