how many protein in 100 gm chana - #36617
I am feeling quite concerned about my current diet. I've recently been trying to eat healthier and incorporate more plant-based proteins because honestly, I think I was kind of overdoing it with meat. My friend mentioned chana—like chickpeas—but I’m unsure about how to integrate them into my meals more effectively. I read somewhere that chana is pretty high in protein, but I keep forgetting the details. Like, how many protein in 100 gm chana? I thought I read that it's like 20g or something, but it could have been a different source. Last week, I tried this chana salad and it was super tasty, but now I'm curious if I'm getting enough protein from it? Should I be eating it every day? I've also been doing yoga which, knock on wood, is going well, but I want to make sure I'm fueling my body right. Is there a specific amount of chana I should aim for a day as part of my protein intake? And can anyone share quick recipes or ideas to mix it up? I'm just trying to steer clear from plain boiled chana, not super exciting, right? Thanks in advance for any tips or insights!

Chana, or chickpeas, are indeed a solid source of plant-based protein, which is beneficial for someone reducing meat intake. In 100 grams of boiled chana, you will typically find around 19 grams of protein. This is quite considerable, but do remember that the exact amount might vary slightly based on the cooking method and specific variety of chana you’re using.
Regarding your protein intake, it really depends on your overall dietary needs, which can be influenced by factors like your activity level, yoga practices, and overall health goals. Aim to include chana as part of a balanced diet—it’s not so much about eating it every day, but about variety and moderation. If you’re engaged in regular yoga, supporting your muscle repair and energy needs with diverse protein sources could be ideal.
In Ayurveda, balancing meals with the proper dosha for your body’s constitution is key. Chana has a slightly cooling and astringent quality. It can be invigorating for Kapha dosha, but if you’ve prominent Vata tendencies, you might want to combine it with warming spices like cumin or ginger to aid digestion and balance the cooling influence. Adding a bit of mustard oil while cooking could support this as well.
For quick recipes, consider masala chana—a mix of boiled chana with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, drizzled with lemon juice and topped with freshly chopped cilantro. You can toss these with spices like roasted cumin powder, coriander, black salt, and a pinch of red chili powder for that extra kick of flavor. Alternatively, a simple chana curry with turmeric, cumin, and curry leaves could also be delightful.
If plain boiled chana seems unexciting to your taste buds, try roasting them with some olive oil and your preferred spices for a crunchy snack. Remember, the key is balance, so integrating a range of protein sources alongside chana, like lentils, nuts, seeds, and tofu, can round out your diet beautifully.
