In a study, people who consumed half a cup of pinto beans every day lowered their total cholesterol by 8 percent in just 12 weeks! But the powerful bean isn’t just great for people with high cholesterol; pinto beans are full of fiber and protein, and low in calories. Just one half cup serving of beans have 8 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein, and only 120 calories.
