View Full Version : doofus question! TexasMom 02-19-2001, 10:16 AM Ok I know that I should know this, but do beans, as in black, or kidney, etc. count as eating a vegetable? Signed, anonymous! http://www.3fatchicks.com/ubb//umm.gif LOL!!

They are usually considered both a source of protein and complex carbohydrates. Under the old WW selection plan, beans could be either a "bread" or a "protein." I personally would not count them towards my 5 fruits and veggies per day. Elizabeth TexasMom 02-20-2001, 01:11 AM Hi Elizabeth, THAT'S what I was thinking about from the "old" WW. I knew it could be considered one of two selections but couldn't remember which two. Thanks for setting me straight. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
