What do you put in it? I made some with tahini and then I looked at the calories in tahini. Fuck me!! I suppose it’s good fat but still…

Just enough water to get it to the right consistency usually works well. Make sure there’s enough garlic and salt in there.
But I wouldn’t shy away from a serious slug of extra virgin olive oil. It might look like unwanted calories but it’s a good fat, well recognised as good for your heart and your houmous is full of protein and fibre (from the chick peas and tahini) and it’ll stop you getting hungry later. There are a lot worse sources of calories that will be of zero benefit. Your home made houmous is good nutrition.

Still counting calories, running 400 - 800 deficit a day, and alternating weights / cardio 6 days a week.
The feeling of hunger has become a familiar background noise, but feels pretty manageable.
I now have a few comfort snacks too - oil free hummus and veg, and chocolate coated frozen mango slices, or salted microwaved popcorn.
I seem to be coping well enough when exercise plans go out the window or we end up eating out - eyeballing and estimating calories feels accurate enough, and I'm confident that the worst I can do is hit maintenance targets.
Cheat day tomorrow. Raclette!
