Question about beans vs rice as my main cheap filler, and I picked wrong
I picked rice over beans for my $30 weekly grocery run last week and by Thursday I was starving by 3pm every day, so what cheap protein actually keeps you full longer?

Read somewhere that rice digests fast so you get hungry sooner, while beans have more fiber and protein so they sit in your stomach longer. Tbh that tracks with what you went through, rice alone just burns right through you by mid afternoon. Next time grab a bag of dry beans instead, they're dirt cheap and one pot lasts me most of the week. Mixing both together works too if you don't wanna give up the rice. Ngl the beans will keep you way fuller for way longer.
