[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the person who recently started eating black refried beans, corn chips and salsa for breakfast every morning. Not as a snack, as my main meal. It is a common breakfast meal for people in some parts of Mexico.

The brand of chips I eat are locally made (Mi Nina) by a family with roots in Mexico. Ingredients are organic white corn, organic sunflower oil, sea salt, trace of lime. One serving is 130 calories, 2g fiber 2g protein, 160mg sodium or 7% RDA. I eat very little salty food, so no concern here.

As said I pair it with one cup of vegan refried black beans. The beans and corn make a complete protein for a healthy meal and start to the day. The beans make me feel sated for several hours and release a slow steady stream of glucose as they break down so I don’t experience sugar spike and then crash after breakfast. I typically don’t eat again until mid afternoon and that’s my last meal of the day because I can still feel the beans, which are basically nature’s semaglutide in terms of radically reducing hunger.

The salsa I use is called Green Mountain Gringo. Ingredients are Ripe Tomatoes, Onions, Fresh Jalapeno Peppers, Tomatillos, Fresh Serrano Peppers, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cilantro, Parsley, Fresh Garlic, Sea Salt, Cumin. One serving is 2 tablespoons (I measure it when serving like I do all my food) and has 10 calories and 75mg sodium, or 3% RDA. I never meet the RDA for salt because I home cook almost all my food and use salt sparingly, mostly utilizing other spices especially capsaicin which is very healthy.

My chips and salsa and bean breakfast is 450-600 calories depending on whether I have one or two servings of chips. It’s loaded with fiber and good micronutrients. It has some salt, a necessary element for proper bodily function. It has complete protein. It is freaking delicious.

It is food, not junk food.
