Brown Rice v.s Black beans

[Shinobi]

In Brazil almost everybody eat black beans during lunch...its part of our culture so I was wondering if its ok if I switch(sometimes) the brown rice for black beans? Beans are a good source of carb as brown rice?

The main thing about the beans is how much you eat. if you stick with maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and eat that along with some healthy lettuce or other green veggies and some lean meat then fine. On the other hand if you load up on them it will become a problem or if you eat them along with bread or potatoes.

I will mix the black beans with tuna, cottage cheese and 1tblsp of flax seed oil

Do people in Brazil fart a lot?

 

[Dryloch]

That sounds like a good combination then bro. Tuna is super healthy for you one of the best diet foods out there.

black beans would be better to use on a cutting cycle as they have a lower GI/GR than brown rice.
