Variations of calories in pinto beans?
So I looked up the caloric value of dry pinto beans in many places and they always seem to be either 60 or 90 calories for a 1/4 cup dry. I was wondering if anyone would know why the difference and what the correct number is.
Why is beans and rice considered a high calorie meal?
Since making it on my own, it doesn't really have many calories for how filling it is. Made with chopped vegetables, a rice and beans meal always seems to be under 500 calories for me and full of lots of fiber and protein.
