I'm in the soft food stage trying to make sure I get in my protein, so I tried this black bean spaghetti I found on Amazon. Note: It's black SOY beans, not regular black beans. But I'm really enjoying it. And 2oz is 25g of protein and only 19g of carbs.

I will have to try that. Sounds good. Thanks.

Speaking of black beans. My husband stopped at Taco Bell last night and asked if I wanted anything, so I got a side of their black beans (50 cal) and I actually really liked them lol.

I really really wish I knew how good they were during my mushy/soft food stage. argh lol

I've used a similar bean-based fettuccine made on mung beans (50g gives 20g protein), and it's totally acceptable with a tomato based sauce. Makes a nice change when I'm in the mood for a pasta-style meal.

Oh wow, does it taste like black beans?

I love black beans, I am going to have to try this.

At Taco Bell, you can have their Power protein bowls. Either steak or chicken. You have to have them remove the cheese and rice, but you can have everything else. I LOVE them. If you have it with chicken, it's 240 calories. If you have it with steak, it's 260 calories. You can have everything else (I can't have the lettuce, tho, because it doesn't sit right in my stomach. But if you're ok with it, you can have it). You don't have to take anything else out, and it's SOOOOO good!!!!!! Oh, and you can add onions for 0 calories and jalapenos for an extra 5 calories. Anything else adds too many calories, but you can add that stuff, if you want it, and not have to worry. The stuff that comes with it already (besides the cheese and rice that has to be removed) is steak or chicken, avocado ranch sauce, tomatoes, reduced fat sour cream, guacamole, black beans, and lettuce.
