If you eat a lentil soup or meat free chili, is that all you need?
As most of you know, Atkins, etc teach to eat protein w carb to slow the rise in BG.
So what's the SB plan say? I have the book but can't seem to get that straight.

There is not a 'must' saying that legumes have to be eaten with protein. Not that I know of anyway.
If and when I do eat a lentil soup, its not only the soup. I will have a cup of it before I eat my meal which is always a protein and a veggie.
On SB, legumes and beans are not considered a starchy veggie as they are allowed from phase I onwards where starchy veggies are not added until phase II.
Meat free chili? whats your protein? I count beans as part of my veggies. I'm not vegetarian so do eat all kinds of meats. Perhaps a vegetarian would eat a meat free chili?
Our meal plan guide suggests that we include legumes/beans as part of our veggie servings. We're encouraged to have 2 x 1/3-1/2 cup servings per day from phase I.
Portion control is a very big aspect of doing SBD successfully so they are not an unlimited item.
I hope that this answers your question.
