BEANS...A carb or fat

  • Hey all. I decided today to have beans (a mix of black and refried black) with my grilled chicken at lunch. I am wondering if this will count as my fat or my carb meal for the day since I am now separating the two in maintenance. The refrieds were fat free.

    Thanks all. I have been googling this and can't get an answer.
  • Beans are carb and protein.
    Ask in the maintainer thread about how they handle it.
    Personally, I'd count as carb (and any added fat like cheese is a fat). But the maintainers are the experts.
  • Lisa, you are the expert!
    Thank you. I will definitely post there to see what they say.
    I am thinking myself that it is a carb too. No cheese, just some onions and cilantro.
