Beans...

[NewMike]

So one of my friends who is pretty ripped mentioned that he eats beans all the time.

I know he must not be eating refried beans, but he said he eats beans straight out of the can.

Anyone else here eat beans alot? What kind do you recommend? Any canned ones ok? What should I look out for on the nutrition label?

I would have thought that the processed / canned beans were not a good choice.

Let me know

Look for low sodium pinto, red, and garbanzo beans(chick peas) that come in cans. They are all high fiber, provide a good amount of protein, and low-gi carbs.

I eat a LOT of beans, although I by dried and prepair them myself.

Seen a spread in MH a while back...black beans were the best, followed by chick peas (gorbanzo beans), and then it was all sort of misc.

Navy or Great Northern beans are my favorite personally.

The only thing I'd really look for would be the ingredients...just being sure you're not getting anything other than beans and water. [img]smile.gif[/img]
