Traditionally Made Hummus is Healthier
Canned foods are not hardly as healthy as fresh and dried ones. Specifically, when using canned chickpeas to make Hummus, you loose half the nutrients.
The first and most important thing to check when looking for a good Hummus recipe, is a use of dried chickpeas instead of canned ones.
Most of the recipes for homemade Hummus found on the web, are based on the latter (canned chickpeas a.k.a garbanzo beens). To those who are acquainted with the original flavor of hummus (not the industrial packaged type, that is), this probably sound like a bad idea in the first place, but many people think that canned chickpeas are a reasonable substitute.
Here's a short list of examples for thr nutritional differences between cooked dried chickpeas and canned ones.
Minerals. Canned chickpeas contain 52% more sodium than cooked chickpeas, although in the process of making the final product (the hummus, that is), this might change. Sodium is found in large ammounts in most industrial foods.
Also, canned chickpeas contain 48% less Iron, 42% less Copper, about 30% less Magnesium, Phosphors and Potassium up to 25 percent less Zinc, Calcium and Selenium.
Vitamins. Vitamin C is not affected by cooking and can-conserving. The canned chickpeas contain 55-75% less Niacin and Folate though.
Amino Acids. Chickpeas contain 18 essential amino acids, about 35% of which are absent from the canned product.
Omega-3. About 48% of the Omega-3 fatty acids found in dried chickpeas after it is cooked, are absent from the canned product. On the other hand, the Tahini (second most important ingredient in hummus) contains a triple amount of Omega-3.
Summery
Canned chickpeas are nutritionally poor compared to cooked chickpeas. In general, about 50 percent of the nutrients are lost, and in some cases even more.

How do I make a home made hummus and where can I get the ingredients?
I think I know I need Chick peas and Tahini ? I have never seen those for sale at Wal Mart where I go grocery shopping.
Also, how long do they last once made ? I would like to make in a large quantity so I can store them away and eat them as needed to last it for a long while.

What should a physically fit vegetarian eat?
I am pathetic, I seriously have a problem eating right. Help!
My current daily diet is as follows
Breakfast: Oatmeal if I have time, If not grab a couple Vector energy bars from the convenience store.
Lunch to ~8pm: bag of bread or bagels (plain or with peanut butter or hummus if I have it)
Dinner: (usually after a workout) grab a protein bar, come home and fret about not having any food to eat, if I'm lucky I'll make pasta or get my roommates to share some of their food with me.
I also eat apples throughout the day, (usually at night when I'm hungry and looking for something to eat).
I need a consistent plan I can follow. I'm a pretty busy guy already and I waste so much time being hungry or thinking about what I should eat. I have to have it planned in advance.
I used to consume a lot of soy milk, tofu, and nuts, but I really want to eat healthier and get more vegetables in my diet. I also want to cut down on my food costs. Those energy and protein bars are a huge waste of money but so convenient.
I can pretty easily make rice and pasta as a base for dinner.
This all probably sounds really silly but its actually a huge problem for me. I need a diet schedule. Please help!

How to prepare tinned hummus?
Funny question I know, but.. I've found a brilliant international supermarket nearby, where I can get imported various tinned hummus for about 50p. I love hummus and eat it a lot, but I'd love to be able to keep it for when I need it. The tinned stuff is very thick and is made with tahini but no other oil, so I figured I should just stir some in. Is that all there is too it? It's got a lovely texture, like Sabra hummus - far nicer (to me) than the grainy supermarket stuff I can generally find fresh at the last minute.
So.. I just add olive oil? How much for a 400g tin?
