How much should I be eating? My doctor told me to eat more seeds so I\u2019ve cut down on beans and have been eating seeds instead.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mangels starts her response with \u201cSeeds are a good choice with a few caveats\u2026They have less protein and much more fat than you\u2019d get from a serving of beans providing a similar amount of calories. Seeds, for the most part, are somewhat lower in iron and higher or similar in zinc compared to beans on an amount per calorie basis\u2026If you replaced beans with seeds, you\u2019d end up eating more calories and fat to get the same amount of protein. On the other hand, including some seeds will give you a boost of zinc, copper, magnesium, and other essential minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article includes a chart comparing nutritional values of some seeds with lentils, as well as a lot of other valuable information.
