Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Refried beans, canned, traditional style

Metabolic Effect: The 3.7g of fiber in every 100g serving slows down glucose absorption, keeping your insulin levels steady and preventing energy crashes. With 4.98g of protein, it helps maintain muscle mass while keeping you feel full for longer periods.
Consumption Tip: I recommend pairing this 90-calorie portion with fresh lime juice to help your body better utilize the 1.44mg of iron provided. To balance the 370mg of sodium, serve it with potassium-rich greens like spinach or fresh parsley.
What to Watch For: Since it contains 370mg of sodium, clients with hypertension should be mindful of their total salt intake for the rest of the day. Remember that the 13.55g of carbohydrates should be factored into your daily macro goals to avoid excessive caloric intake.
Exercise Equivalent: You can easily burn off the 90 calories from this meal with a brisk 15-minute walk. The 319mg of potassium will also assist in preventing muscle cramps after your daily activity.
