Hummus calories & macros
166 calories per 100 g · 50 calories per 2 tbsp (30 g). Hummus (commercial).
Two tablespoons of hummus is about 50 calories, which sounds trivial until you notice that nobody stops at two tablespoons. At 166 calories per 100 g — driven by tahini and oil — a casual half-tub while cooking is 250 calories or more. Portioned into a small bowl rather than eaten from the container, it is a genuinely good snack: fiber, plant protein, and unsaturated fat.

Frequently asked
How many calories in hummus?
About 166 calories per 100 g, or roughly 50 per 2-tablespoon serving. A standard small tub (200 g) is around 330 calories.
Is hummus healthy?
Yes, in a measured portion — it brings fiber, plant protein, and mostly unsaturated fat from tahini and olive oil. It is calorie-dense for a dip, so the serving size does the deciding.
