Refried beans a slider food?

[mominkansas 2]

Does anyone consider refried Beans a slider? I seem to get full eventually but wonder if it is more because it is heavier food. I've gained a few pounds since I added it in so I wondered.

Are you eating the FF canned Beans at home or ordering them at a Mexican restuarant? The beans prepared at Mexican restuarants are full of fat which adds calories.

For me, yes they were. I started eating them once a day after reading everyone else on the board eating them. My weight loss was affected so I stopped and I started back down the scale again.

I've eaten the FF refried Beans from a can and had no problems at all. I believe I had 1/4 C as a side with 3 oz. of chicken, I've also had it with cottage cheese. I was full from that and had no problems. I did make some beans myself and mashed them. I don't know what the difference was, but I got very ill feeling from my own beans. My nutritionist had told me though, that it was ok to eat the ff canned refried beans. I also like to add a little salsa or taco sauce to them. Yum!

I use the Old El Paso FF Beans with some salsa or Enchilada sauce and a pinch of lowfat shredded cheese.< /p>

I eat them too. They seem to stay with me a long time and I fill up fairly quickly on them. I add the salsa too. Yummy!

I'm also a refried Beans eater. I'll have a 1/2 cup with low fat shredded cheese and some fat free sour cream. Love 'em. So happy I can have them. The funniest thing, I looked at the nutrition value of the Fat Free and the Regular and honestly, there isn't TOO much of a difference. So I don't sweat it if the store doesn't have the Fat Free. The regular can is okay too.
