This study, called "Pulse Revolution," is looking at how different ways of preparing chickpeas affect your body's energy use. Researchers want to see if eating chickpeas daily for 12 weeks, in forms like whole chickpeas, puréed chickpeas, or 100% chickpea flour products, can improve how your body uses energy, especially fat. You would be compared to a group eating a standard diet with a non-chickpea snack. This study is for healthy adults between 19 and 60 years old with a BMI between 18.5 and 35, who don't smoke or use tobacco products, and aren't taking steroid medications. The study aims to find out if different chickpea products can improve your metabolic health, particularly fat burning and how your body handles sugar and fat. The current recruitment status is unclear.
