?Peas can be used as both fattening and weight-loss foods. One of the main arguments for why peas are considered fattening comes from a study by Harvard Health. Researchers found a link between an increase in starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn and peas) and weight gain. Increasing non-starchy vegetables has been linked to weight loss.
On the other hand, peas can be considered a good food for weight loss. They are low in calories and fat and high in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
A high-fiber diet has been shown to have a protective effect against weight gain.
Because peas are rich in fiber and protein, they can help keep you feeling full after eating them. Most importantly, peas should not be considered a fattening food. There is rarely one food that causes weight gain. Changes in body size and weight are caused by overall food intake and other lifestyle factors.
