With that recipe, possibly not.
The amount of carrots that would be eaten would punch me in the gut.I can easily get through 200g+ of hummus in one sitting. With the above recipe, probably would be around 300-350 calories for that amount, subject to quantity of olive oil and tahini.
Won't get fat eating it, but might demolish a planned daily calorie deficit.
Very easy to have extra spoon of peanut butter because you've almost finished the jar, or just because. Thats an extra 125 calories, and doesn't seem like you've actually eaten really anything.
When I'm cutting weight, I try and cut out 'domino' foods, because my food moderation is shit.

Just make your own hummus/houmous/whatever; supermarket stuff is too full of oil. Can of chickpeas in the blender with a clove of garlic, blob of tahini, blend smooth, loosen it up with a bit of olive oil and water and season it to taste with salt and lemon juice. You won’t get fat eating that with carrots.
