I know that beans are very important on SBD but I am confused as to which beans are best to be eating.  I have been eating black beans and pinto beans but the pinto beans are higher carbs. 


Also, I LOVE kidney beans but am not sure whether to count these as a vege or a bean serving. 


Thanks

Hi,


All beans are good and we don't distinguish among them.

Just wanted to add that one thing you need to look out for with canned beans is added sugar.

Canned beans shouldn't contain any sugar in the ingredient list.
