Tahini has 5g of protein per 2 tbsp (~32g). That is about 3g per 100 calories, not a significant source of protein.
Is tahini good for weight loss?
Any food can fit a weight-loss diet, because your total daily calories decide the result, not one food. Tahini is calorie-dense and easy to overeat, so keep the portion measured and fit it into your target.
Is tahini healthy?
Healthy depends on the rest of your day, not one food. It brings fiber. Keep an eye on the fat. In a balanced diet at your calorie target, tahini is fine; the portion and how often you eat it matter more than the food itself.
