ugh beans

Where do you "keep hearing" this?

It's nonsense.

Yeap, sounds like bollocks to me too .. I


This thread is a useless waste of time without quoting the source ..

I think the OP has been consuming too much of the plant in their profile picture

Don't feed the trolls it only makes them carry on.

Yup, along with bread, pasta, rice, eggs, dairy, fruit, certain vegetables, etc.

So I keep hearing that beans are super bad for the body and they make you gain weight like crazy.
but idk
Would it be fine to have like one cup of baked beans a day?
like the bush's homestyle baked beans?

Why would want to eat baked beans everyday?

Beans are FABULOUS for being nutritionally dense and filling for their serving size. However, as others have said, you MUST at least try to avoid the canned stuff. Not only do they tend to have more calories, but they have insane amounts of sodium. Making your own beans is really cheap and easy anyways - just don't forget to add the salt and garlic (or whatever you like) at the beginning of the cooking process.
Don't be afraid to load up on the legumes! They're my favorite low(er) calorie food.
Also try making your own lentils; I like mine seasoned with garam masala, plain yogurt, and a little bit of olive oil. Combining lentils and mung beans is another one of my favorites.

Beans can also be used to substitute flour in some recipes. Chocolate muffins (with black beans), lemon and blueberry muffins (with a white bean), and whole wheat carrot/zucchini/flax muffins with pinto beans are all AMAZING. I served these to a group of friends and they were gone in an instant. Everyone was shocked to learn that I had used beans to replace some of the flour.
Don't give up on beans, ever! And those of you who are still fans... well, good. =|

You'll dig this OP....

Mesmerizing. :noway:
