Some if them count the fiber carbs and list calories as around 150 per 1/4 cup dry but some of them don't and list calories as 60-70 per 1/4 cup dry. Which is correct???

    There should be a measurement in grams. Look at that as opposed to cups. I'm guessing that they will be the same.

    I use the usda data which says mine are 120cals for 86g or 1/2 cup dry. Based on that I would say what you listed first is correct. Beans are fairly calorie dense.

    The weight is the same. The calorie difference is from one brand including calories from fiber carbs and one not. So i guess my question is do fiber carbs need to be counted or not?
