Newbie just starting phase 1

Hi all I'm just starting and I am planning on going shopping in the next few days. But before I went I wanted to know I see a lot of different types of beans I can eat in phase 1. Can I eat those types of beans canned or do they have to be fresh? I don't really know how to make them fresh canned is much easier for me, and I think it would be less time consuming so if I can go canned I would love to :)

1/2 cup. Beans are calorie dense.

WOW!! 40lbs thats great! Congrats :) I would love to be able to loose all 70+lbs of the weight thats hanging around on me lol.

I have some more questions about food I'm trying to get all this together before I go shopping lol.

I want to make the mocha ricotta cream desert it says u have to use mini chocolate chips are hershey's chips semi sweet chocolate or nestle tolls morsels semi sweet chocolate ok to use in phase 1?

Another thing is cornmeal allowed in phase 1? I found this really good recipe for oven-"fried" catfish, but it requires putting cornmeal on the catfish.

The recipe is ok for phase 1 but suggests using 5 mini chocolate chips.
