What are everyones thoughts on including Beans to a bulking diet?? (pinto bean, kidney bean, lentil bean, baked beans etc.) I rarely hear anyone on this forum include beans to their diet. Why is that? B/c of their high sodium count, fat?? Im hispanic, so beans are pretty much a staple to our diet + they taste soo good lol.. When pressed for time I often stop at my local Chicken Kitchen and pick up a quick Chop-Bowl meal which includes Grilled Chicken, Brown Rice, Baked Beans, Lettuce and Tomato.. Thoughts, Comments??

beans are a excellent complex carb source. i think most people dont include them cause of the gas.


just make sure they dont have any unnecessary fat or sodium.

black beans are my favorite, i try to eat them ed.

MMMMMMM!!!!!! Black beans. Make sure there not the seasoned ones tho. Look for low sodium ones if you can find them. Cook em up with some chicken, throw it in a Spelt wrap, yummy, yummy.

Below is are a few excerpts from an FDA article on Soy.
http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2000/300_soy.html


Soy protein products can be good substitutes for animal products because, unlike some other beans, soy offers a "complete" protein profile. Soybeans contain all the amino acids essential to human nutrition, which must be supplied in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the human body. Soy protein products can replace animal-based foods--which also have complete proteins but tend to contain more fat, especially saturated fat--without requiring major adjustments elsewhere in the diet.

Vegetarians and health enthusiasts have known for years that foods rich in soy protein offer a good alternative to meat, poultry, and other animal-based products. scientific studies showing health benefits from these products.

Last October, the Food and Drug Administration gave food manufacturers permission to put labels on products high in soy protein indicating that these foods may help lower heart disease risk.

i think most are bad cause of insane amounts of fats to make them taste good.

just check the fat and sodium content.

Agreed. I use unsweetened silk everyday and dont feel like any less of a man.
