Hi Kir,

Hummous is both starch and protein because of the beans. If you read a can of beans you will see they contain both carbs and vegetable protein. And the sesame seeds are seeds, containing fat and carbs, and are not nuts, technically. So I would say the hummous by itself is ok, just take care what you eat with it, because of its hard-to-digest consistency. I know people will say that doesn't make sense if the beans are vegetable protein, why not eat them with meat? But again, at least for me, they give me digestion probs eaten with meat, especially with the seed fat.

I eat my hummous with raw veggies, never with meat. Bad combo. Veggies and meat, veggies and hummous... like that.

BTW can you ask your new doc what he says about hummous? I'd be curious to hear the official verdict. Also, ask him what he thinks about soaked nuts eaten alone (unless you're allergic) and sprouted seeds. Sprouted sunflower is excellent, as is alfalfa. Both have protein, B vits and lots of enzymes.
