2 Small Falafels = 100kcals

Like other beans, chickpeas are a cheap way to pack a lot of different nutrients into your diet for relatively few calories: fibre, complex carbohydrates, protein, iron, vitamin B6, C and K are all present. Falafels are a particularly delicious way to enjoy them, especially when you consider the metabolism-boosting benefits of the spices they contain. Opt for grilled, rather than fried, falafels to keep the calorie count to a minimum.
