Question: how many calories are in a plate of red beans and rice?
Answer: Just a 1/2- cup serving has 8 grams each of protein and fiber — all for about 100 calories, and close to no fat. While beans and rice are a fantastic option for vegetarians, in Creole cuisine, the dish is flavored with a bit of meat, either sausage, ham or just the ham bone left over from a previous meal.
