Hi.  Coming out of lurkdome for this one.  I'm confused by the beans.  Do I have to get a serving in every day?  Twice a day?  I LOVE beans.  I do.  But I can't imagine eating them everyday!  What would I eat?  I can't eat burritos since I'm on P1.


This is such a wonderful board.  I've just come back to SBD and I've not needed to ask any questions because you all are always just giving such great tips!!


Thanks.  nygamom

Getting beans (and you do need one serving of legumes a day, check the food list but I'm pretty sure at Phase 1 it's 1/3-1/2 cup) in every day is so easy!

I never eat burritos but I DO eat naked burritos (I feel I get more "stuff" that way!), taco salads, and chili. You could also get them in soups or as sides. I've even seen (and made) muffins and brownies using beans.

You just need to be sure there are no added illegal ingredients.

Hi,


Yes, it's recommended to eat 1/3 to 1/2 cup of beans daily.

Don't worry about asking questions.
