I get bohot cravings for chole these days, second trimester started and appetite is back. But mummy says chana causes too much gas so avoid. Is it okay to eat or really should i skip?
Oh, I remember when even the smell of food made me throw up, but chana chaat was one of the few things I could actually digest! It is safe and packed with nutrients, just add some ginger to avoid gas.
Yes, you can absolutely eat it, it's a great source of protein and folate. I ate a lot of chana throughout my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding, just ensure it is properly boiled.
Having PCOS made me super careful about carbs, but kabuli chana has a low glycemic index which is actually really good. Just don't overeat it and keep an eye on bloating, but otherwise, it's a safe choice.
I totally understand how these food cravings can make you feel so unsure about everything you eat! Yes dear, kabuli chana is actually very healthy and full of protein, just make sure it's cooked well. Enjoy your meal with a happy heart!
Kabuli chana is great, but just a heads up that it can cause a lot of gas. When I was recovering from my C-section, bloating was quite painful, so even in pregnancy, I used to eat it in limited quantities with a bit of hing.
Yes, definitely! Kabuli chana is totally fine and highly recommended for iron and protein. Just cook it nicely at home instead of eating outside street food, and you are good to go.
