I seen a beef & barley soup recipe from skinnytaste & wonder if its a good idea to eat barley? I like barley & know that I need to use my space for protein but I also need a variety too. Just curious what you all think?

Personally I wouldn't eat much barley due to carbs but the rest of the soup is prob ok

I think barley is fine. I would put your protein first, then the barley.

Quinoa tastes (to me) like anything you put it with. It takes on the flavor of the other ingredients. It's less chewy than barley.

I fight badgers with spoons.

barley is fine, but for me i wouldn't eat it because it's a soup and for me the same as eating and drinking at the same time
