Hummus — 166 kcal

Homemade versions generally have fewer preservatives, less sodium, and no artificial additives. You can also control the fat and sugar content. Store-bought Hummus is convenient but check the label — nutritional values may differ from the 166 kcal/100g listed here for a standard recipe.

A standard serving of Hummus provides about 25 kcal. Prepared foods can be calorie-dense, so measuring portions rather than eating directly from a package helps manage intake. Using a kitchen scale is the most accurate method.

At 166 kcal per 100g with 9.6g fat and 14.3g carbs, Hummus can fit into a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. The frequency depends on your overall daily calorie target and the rest of your meals. Track it with CalZen to see how it fits.

Look for versions with less added sugar, lower sodium, or whole-grain ingredients. Baked instead of fried, grilled instead of breaded — small swaps can significantly reduce calories and fat while preserving flavor. Compare labels to find options closer to your nutrition goals.

Refrigerate leftover Hummus within 2 hours of cooking in a sealed container. Most prepared dishes stay safe for 3–4 days at 0–4°C. For longer storage, freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 2–3 months. Always reheat to at least 74°C (165°F) before eating.
