Fiber, not fat
Instead of eating 1 cup of refried beans, have 1/2 cup of pinto beans.
In general, bean-eaters can expect smaller waist sizes and a 22 percent lower risk of obesity. One cup of beans provides a whopping 13 grams of fiber, with no saturated fat. Beans are loaded with protein and dozens of key nutrients including calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Surprisingly, red, pinto, and kidney beans are the foods, highest in antioxidants, beating out both blueberries and cranberries.
