Oh, yeah I think they serve about a cup but I never eat it all in the restaurant. I take about half home in a box or leave part on my plate. I know they're bad, but I'm still doubting the fitday data.

Oddly enough...made at home or even purchased in a can, refried can be a VERY high source of fiber...I buy low fat vegetarian that's only like 35-50 calories a half cup serving!

And that is why the canned ones taste like crap, in comparison to the homestyle Mex. restaurant version. Freshly cooked beans at home are delicious if you have time to cook them.
