Nutrologist explains the differences and benefits of every food
The chickpeas and beans are important sources of nutrients, but there are some differences between them. According to Dr. Nutrologist Sandra Lúcia Fernandes, professor of the Post -Laurea course at the Brazilian Association of Nutrology, for those who want to increase protein consumption, the main wheat is the most suitable.
In addition, the professional highlights 3 other differences:
1- -Antr are rich, but the chickpeas tend to have a slightly larger content.
2- Vitamins and minerals -Chickpeas is an excellent source of folate, which is particularly important for the health of the heart and the formation of blood cells.
“Already the beans, on the other hand, have a higher iron content, particularly important for blood health,” he says.
3- calories -The chickpeas has a little more calories (about 160-180 calories per 100 g cooked) and beans (about 130-140 calories per 100 g cooked), which can be relevant in cases of control of calorie intake.
“The two are very nutritious and offer similar benefits, but chickpeas can be slightly denser in proteins and calories, while the beans offer a greater amount of iron,” adds the doctor.
Sniper gaining weight?
“I often say that it is not a food that fades alone. It is rich in fiber and proteins, which helps to maintain the feeling of satiety and can help in weight control until consumed in a balanced way,” he says.
However, if there is an excess consumption or if prepared with many spices or fat oils, it can become more caloric. “Like any other food, chickpeas should be consumed in moderation within a balanced food plan.” Concludes.
