For my Syrian, to last three days, I give a tablespoon of his base mix and to it I add complete pellets, oats, millet, seed mix (which contains flax, canary and grass seeds), a couple of pieces of dog kibble and/or dried mealworms, rye flakes, alfalfa rings, extra sunflower seeds and some of a dried herbage mix.

He also gets a piece of fresh veg daily, or sometimes fruit or a little cooked chicken instead.

WOW. All that for just 3DAYS? That hams has a BIG apatite
So does all that add up to 3 tablespoons? Because I heard somewhere that your supposed to feed them 1 tablespoon a day.

It's not a lot of food really, I only give tiny amounts of the extras. All in all, it adds up to about three tablespoons for three days, which, like you say, is totally on par with they should be having.

I have read that pinto beans are safe but wouldn't think it's something you want to give too much of, almonds are fine but only very sparingly!
