Not following the menus in book?

Hello, I'm new to this and doing Phase I. I'm following the rules but not the sample menus in book. Is this okay? I ask b/c the sample menu's don't include beans, milk or peanut butter but they are all listed (in small portions - which I'm adhering to) in the allowed foods list. So, I'm having 1/3 c. beans everyday - as well as 2 cups of skim milk and 2 T. peanut butter - but I'm a small framed woman (5'2) so should I downsize the portions - i.e. do they give portion sizes for an average sized man or something? Sorry I haven't read the book totally yet - but wanted to get started.
Thanks for any help and good luck to all of you!
