Is it okay to eat one can of chick peas a day? That is the only beans that I have. I thought it was okay to have a few servings of beans a day, I just eat mine all at once. I love them! :lol:

they are very calorie dense...you're eating [depending on size of can] maybe 4-5 servings?

try putting them in baggies and 'hiding' them!

Usually in 15 oz. can there are 3-1/2 (1/2 cup) servings. You should eat 1/2 cup of beans [maximum] in one sitting. The guideline is actually 1/3 to 1/2 cup. However you can have more than one serving in a day. Just not all at once. 1/2 cup with snack. 1/2 cup with dinner. That's fine.

Also when you cook them, I believe they get smaller so measure before putting them in the oven.. or like was suggested, separate into 3-1/2 servings when you cook a whole can.
