Beans

[nickolaskus]

Hadnt seen much talk about beans around here. Are they a good carb source? Personally I eat quite a bit as its a great companion to most meats. One of my favorite quick meals is a can of tuna mixed with black beans and brown rice, then topped off with hot sauce...very tasty. I usually eat black beans, the low sodium version. Just wondering what the experts thought about them/if they use them alot in their diets. Only negative I see is the gas, and damn can it be potent lol

I keep legumes in my diet definitely.

Lentils, chick peas, black beans for sure. Just make sure you count them into your macro's because there is fat content which most people dont think about.

what about red kidney beans?

I eat black beans everyday.

For me, much better choice than rice. The beans have protein, fiber and fat too.
