Calories in chickpeas

Hi
I really love chickpeas, but I've troubles logging them in. There are an awful lot of different brands in the database (not the ones I usually buy) and they all have different amounts of calories. Pretty much everything from 110-375 kcal/100g.
So I checked the label of the chickpeas can and it says 67 kcal/100g (drained). On the internet, I found everything from 65-385kcal.
The higher ones might be non-cooked or dried ones.

Can anyone help me?


(please apologize any grammar mistakes)

    I'm not sure why they would be so different, but when I eat them I just log what it says on the tin. You can add that brand yourself.

    Personally, I would go with what it says on the label :)

    Go with what it says on the brand you are using, if that isn't in the database either add it or just use quick add calories :smile:
