American scientists from the Cleveland Clinic highlighted that chickpeas can be considered a complete protein because they contain all the amino acids that our bodies require. When cooking, it's good to remember that chickpeas make for a healthier meat substitute. Chickpeas stands out for not having any saturated fats, an excessive amount of which in our diet, can raise the levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol in our blood, thereby increasing the risk of developing conditions such as atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.
This legume notably contains a generous amount of fiber, which accelerates intestinal movement and helps remove harmful food residues. Furthermore, frequently including chickpeas in your diet encourages the production of sodium butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids, which can safeguard against colon cancer.
Chickpeas also have a low glycemic index, which assists in controlling blood glucose levels. Therefore, they can be safely integrated into the diets of diabetes patients. Moreover, they contain lycopene, saponins, and biochanin A, which display anti-cancer properties.
Being low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, chickpeas are an excellent choice for individuals coping with obesity or looking to lose extra weight. It offers a satiating meal without high-fat content.

Can you put chickpeas on a barbeque and then layer it with fried mushrooms, onions and steak sauce? No? End of conversation.
Lol. Spot on
Saturated fats are not bad for you. Big lie told by the processed foods and soda industry to distract you from the true evil: Insane amounts of highly processed sugar and calorie dense foods, which have caused an epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Stop with the noshing and the fressing, start with a diet of Whole Foods founded on meat. Beef, chicken, fish,eggs, cheeses, yogurt, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and yes even some white bread here and there. Red meat is one of the most nutrient dense foods, and should not be avoided. Don’t hock me that it’s expensive. For the thousands of dollars you spend on your liqueur, shabbos party, cakes, pizza, Thursday night restaurant festivities, you could instead buy healthy options and live a functioning life. Stop being a fat fressing oaf and lose that boich of yours. And it wouldn’t kill ya to take a walk here and there
There's nothing wrong with eating real meat (not substitutes). Mankind has always been eating meat since brias haoilem. Then came the TV and the social networks, spreading all sorts of stupities and getting people to love ideology & fashion thinking.
