Mixed Legumes - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mixed Legumes

• Metabolic Effect: Mixed legumes regulate digestion and provide a feeling of fullness due to their high fiber content. They keep energy levels balanced thanks to the protein and complex carbohydrates they contain.
• Consumption Recommendation: You can consume mixed legumes alone, or with salad or yogurt. Consuming a food containing vitamin C (e.g., salad with lemon) with it increases iron absorption.
• Things to Consider: Legumes can cause gas and bloating in some people. To prevent this, it may be helpful to cook the legumes thoroughly and soak them in water for a while before consuming.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from mixed legumes may require approximately 20-25 minutes of walking or 10-15 minutes of running. This varies depending on portion size and activity level.
