I have the recipe book and so far the recipes are fab. But ….
Is there a difference between green/black lentils and red? I really don’t like green so am substituting red lentils which I love. And only using dried red.
So curious to know if there is more protein in different colour lentils.
Sorry if I’m asking a daft question 😊

I’ve just done a search and there is very little difference in puy (dark) and red lentils. Per 50 grams red are 170 cals at 28 carbs, puy are 154 cals and 25 carbs. Both very high in carbs though so it will depend on which diet you are on and whether you are strict on carbs. Checked where you posted and you are doing the Med, so not as restrictive on the carbs or calories, just calculate it into your plan.
