    Here is the nutrition data for 1800 cal worth of pinto beans. The most glaring deficiency is vitamin C, and also healthy fats. It looks like a healthy amount of protein, , and sufficient iron.

    So, along with some produce and good fat sources you're doing pretty well.

      I eat a lot of fresh peppers. So produce I guess.

      Fats... uhhhh I like sour cream a lot.

      What I’m gathering from this is I should just eat chili all the time.

        Take a Vitamin C, D, and B12 supplement regardless.

        And chock your beans with olive oil and less salt, saw that pro-tip here the other day.

        Also stop eating sour cream it's an animal cruelty product and you're better than that.

          Look dude going full vegetarian is turning out to be tough enough for me. Full vegan is a bridge I’m nowhere near crossing yet.

        If you're eating beans and milk all the time, please supplement omega 3. Half an avocado, some chia seeds, a flax oil pill, copious amounts of olive oil
