I found a little blurb in a magazine the other day (SELF) and tried an idea they suggested that was food related. As we already know eating food high in fiber, vitamin D and calcium could decrease your risk for colon cancer (this from a study in The Journal of Nutrition). This is concerning chickpeas. if you've never tasted them they're actually quite yummy. Not chocolate ice cream yummy (!) but still very good. So munching on chickpeas could make you a better eater (this according to a study in Appetite.
People who added about 1/2 cup garbanzo beans to their diet daily ate fewer high-fat, low-fiber foods overall. And once participants stopped popping beans they were more apt to snack. Chickpeas offer about 6 grams of filling protein and 5g fiber per 1/2 cup.
This is where is gets interesting . . . add to pasta sauce rather than meat. I have to say it was remarkably good when I tried it. Yum!
