    Black beans are great on a salad; add a little salsa, and cheese. Also I made a "healthy version" of the TGIF's black bean soup was great. Found basic recipe on the internet . Recently found Bush's Cocina Latina ( smashed black beans with chilies, tomatoes, and a touch of bacon)

    Also love quinoa.

    Fiber one cereal (The twiggy kind has 14g of fiber a serving)
    Chia seeds (One ounce (about 2 tablespoons) contains 139 calories, 4 grams of protein, 9 grams fat, 12 grams carbohydrates and 11 grams of fiber, plus vitamins and minerals.)
    I throw them in greek yogurt with some fruit and I'm running (to the bathroom) all day :D

    Black beans! For fiber+protein. Otherwise, meat and veggies, lol.

    Black beans? Really?! How do you prepare them to jazz them up?

    I buy the can of reduced sodium store brand beans and toss 1/4 or 1/2 cup on salad greens with chicken, sauteed peppers and onions, salsa, a little guac, light sour cream and some cheese. Giant burrito bowl for 400-700 cals depending on proportions.
