Actually wouldn't it depend on how they were cooked?

Plain pinto beans are fine. Yes, it would depend on how they were prepared. I mainly use them in salads and chilis.

Yep - it would depend how they are cooked. Around here I've seen lots of pinto beans cooked as something they call "charro beans" or "barracho beans" - which usually have bacon, lard and or sugar in them. So if they were that style - nope, not SBD friendly! And if they were "baked beans" - again, nope not SBD friendly as those are loaded with sugar and again usually bacon or non-lean ham.

Now if they were simply plain beans with only "legal" seasonings, then they'd be fine.

Yep - down here in the southern region they tend to cook things quite differently! I've never seen just plain pinto beans in a restaurant. They are generally cooked with bacon/pork and seasonings. Black beans are usually a safer bet in restaurants, they don't add as much to them.

However, the limit for beans is 1/2 cup per day since they are so calorie dense (however they were cooked).
