MYTH 3: LETTUCE IS LETTUCE
• Different types of lettuce hold different types of benefits.
• Dark leaf, mild-tasting greens, counting romaine, red-leaf lettuce, and many spring mixes, don't have a wealth of phytonutrients, but contain a decent amount of betacarotene.

essential phytonutrients that aren't offered in green.

MYTH 5: ADD BEANS ONLY
• A big spoon full of about 1/4 cup of beans provide you with roughly 4 grams of protein - obviously not enough.
• For protein needs you need 36 grams per pound of body weight per day.
• So a 154-pound woman needs about 55 grams of protein on a daily basis.

MYTH 6: NO BACON...EVER
• One slice of bacon is equal to about 1 tablespoon of crumbled bacon, which has close to the same amount of fat as 2 tablespoons of feta or shredded cheese.
• If you choose to go with the bacon bits on your salad make sure you keep other fats, such as croutons or creamy dressings, away from your salad.
