Lentils: Protein, Carbs & Weight Loss Benefits - A Comprehensive Guide

Question
Are lentils a protein or carb?

Is it a bean?

And is it a weight-loss product?

Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi

For 1 cup (230 calories) there are 40g of carbs, but 16g of those are fiber, and 18g of protein.

It falls in the category of beans.

Lentils can be very good for weight loss due to their high fiber which will keep you feeling full and their low fat.

I hope this helps.
