What your saying makes sense to me.



I like it but daily seems a little strong as it does have fat in it.

    Id say no. High in fat and high in calories. I LOVE it though.

    I never see houmous ever feature in any of the Tri or running mags' diet sections.



    I love it. Wholegrain pitta, carrots or raw red pepper all served with a big blob of houmous.



    My instinct is that it's very good for you: protein from chick peas, good fat from the olive oil and vitamins (iron even?).



    Anyone know whether it's a good thing to have regularly (daily for me) in an active diet?
