whole-grain chapatti at lunch, and whole-wheat pasta or brown rice for dinner.

Add black beans, white beans, pinto beans, lentils, black-eyed peas, and kidney, garbanzo, or soy
beans to your diet. Try them in chili and soups, salads, and pasta dishes. Besides providing protein
and fiber, they are also good sources of key nutrients, such as iron, folate, calcium, and zinc.
