At 230 calorie per cup of cooked lentils, lentils fall in the same range as cooked brown rice, potatoes and bananas. Some fats like butter, oils, nuts and meat are higher in calories, while non-starchy vegetables contain fewer calories per serving.
Salt the lentils: Lentils are cooked as soon as they are tender and no longer crunchy. Older lentils may take longer to cook and shed their outer skins as they cook. Strain the lentils and remove the bay leaf, if used. Return the lentils to the pan and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Taste and add additional salt as needed. Storing cooked lentils: Cooked lentils will keep refrigerated for about a week.
