One table spoon of chick peas is 91 calories??? D=

I was looking up the health benifits of chickpeas, and stumbled across this website.

I cant believe one table spoon has 91 calories!! I eat SO many chickpeas....like 15 table spoons or something...AS A SNACK...!

Wow...next time i guess i'll just eat an apple!

The 91 calories per tbsp is most probable for dried chick peas. Since it expands up to 4 times its size, the 1 tbsp translates to about a 1/4 cup. 1 tbsp soaked and cooked chick peas is about 18 calories. So keep eating eat. its very healthy....but like any foods, it should be in moderation.

my dad got this trail mix/nut/m&m schtuff - and thank god i checked the nutrition facts on it before munching on some - 1/4 c = 200 cals(!!!)

oh i came across the same thing...it scared the crap outta me seein as i jus had almost an entire bowl of the stuff! btw i love ur display pic of L..drives me crazy everytime *drools* lol. anywayz dont worry bout it anijig is right jus keep havin it but in moderation and u'll be fine.

Thanks!
