What do you guys think about these two food items?
The past two days I've made a big salad with olives, tomatoes, onions, feta, hummus, and avocado (with fat free caesar dressing). Yesterday I put sliced turkey in it, too, and today I ate a turkey burger patty.
For breakfast I had a starbucks latte (nonfat). I feel like I messed up for some reason, but I guess this was pretty healthy, right?

I love them both! They are not that bad for you. Depends how much you use. I think with both items you don't have to use alot they are both very flavorful. Feta cheese you can sprinkle into tiny little pieces and make it seem like you have more. Its great stuff esp on salads and hummus is delicious on sandwhiches! I love Roasted Red Pepper hummus!
:D

I totally agree! The red pepper hummus is the kind that I have. It's delicious! I sprinkled the feta on my salad and put spoonfulls of hummus inside my turkey slices and rolled them up...yummy greek dish! I've just been addicted to it recently...

Is hummus considered protein?

For me, the hummus is on my A-list (high fiber very low glycemic carbs) but I am trying hard to cut back on the saturated fats in cheese and any of the low fat variants taste like Qaqaa. So I only have room for some occasional Swiss. My beloved BRIE has finally been removed from my forebrain; I LIVED on it during Atkins.

Sounds pretty good to me too, however, if you aren't doing a low-carb diet, be careful of the turkey burger. Most of them are higher in fat than most people realize, because they are made with the dark meat - which is higher in fat. If making it yourself make sure the package says that it was made from breast meat. In a restaurant, I'd be suspect about what exactly is in it.
Actually, even if you are on a low-carb, the lean proteins are still what you should be eating, not the fatty ones :)
Good luck!

So we are saying that hummus is good for you?
