Good morning all,

I really love beets- 1/2 cup has the following macros:

35 calories
Sodium 290 mg
potassium 250 mg
Carbs 8 g
sugars 5 g

Can I have them everyday??? I can eat a can with everymeal.

Thank You! :innocent: :clap:

I'm thinking those would be along the same lines as peas....and I know you're not allowed to have peas w/ every meal.

I use them as more of a starch than I do a fibrous veg. Not sure if that's right, but like Leah said, I limit how much I eat. I only eat beets in the summer though, because once you've had fresh garden beets, you just can't go back!

I can't wait for my garden to come up!!! :love:

Same - I always thought of them as a starch - like peas and corn
