Hummus is classified as a Low Protein Food (8g per 100g). It provides limited protein. Pair it with higher-protein foods to meet your daily targets.
Muscle synthesis requires adequate protein intake throughout the day. Hummus provides 4.8g of protein per 1/4 cup, contributing to your daily target. For muscle building, most research supports 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight daily.
Hummus delivers 22.1 calories per gram of protein. Compare this against leaner protein sources if you are optimizing your protein-to-calorie efficiency.
The general guideline is 0.8g per kg for sedentary adults (roughly 50g/day), 1.2 to 1.6g per kg for active individuals (roughly 100g/day), and up to 2g per kg for athletes (roughly 150g/day). Hummus at 4.8g per 1/4 cup can be a meaningful part of reaching those targets.
