True that. It has high protein content and by eating very less, we feel full; so this can be an ideal choice when we are very hungry and just want to grab a bite of high sugar/high fat food. As these are good for gut health, it does not create stomach issues like bloating much if eaten in a regulated amount. This can be immensely beneficial for people who are targeting for weight loss, as it has low GI value too. Few studies have indicated that, it helps in managing LDL (bad) cholesterol as well. We just need to make sure that we are not buying the commercial versions of it, as they may contain extra salts and will not be healthy for the body.
