Hummus is a Middle Eastern food commonly used as a spread or sauce. It is a popular appetizer that can be included in a weight loss diet plan.

Hummus provides many nutrients, such as:

• Healthy fatty acids
• Complex carbohydrates

It is a source of complex carbohydrates due to chickpeas. Although the fiber content is relatively low per serving, hummus can increase satiety in a meal, thanks to the combination of healthy fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
