While I was in Europe, I noticed many women eating lentils. From a can mostly. I picked up pre-cooked lentils from Trader Joes and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was, hot or cold. Because of the earthy flavor, you can cook anything with lentils and mix all sorts of spices into it. It is a very versatile bean that absorbs many flavors quickly. A bit of olive oil and everyday seasoning makes a quick and healthy savory snack. The best thing about lentils is that it has so so so much iron in it, which is great for all those anemic girls or menstruating women. Iron gives you a lot of energy and it is natural for women to not have enough iron.
Lentils are very low in calorie and very high in fiber, protein, and B vitamins. Make lentils a part of your diet for increased energy and nutrients.
I looked up some recipes with lentils which include:
Curried lentils

A mushroom and lentil dish:
