Beans?

I was wondering about beans other than green beans. I enjoy bean salad or
red kidney beans with onions, oil and vinegar. Does this work if you're on
Atkins plan? Are they low carb?
thx.

Not so much, no. Check their values on fitday.

I use black soy beans to make bean dishes now. You can buy them canned
from Eden, and I think some natural food stores will carry them dry in
bulk. They are very low in carbs.

I second the recommendation for black soybeans. hard to find in a store you
can find them online. I soak several meals worth of dry beans overnight in
the frig and pressure cook for 5 minutes, freeze in 1 cup portions, 7 net
carbs per cup-

Watch your onion portion also. You can get lower carbs with green onions
(scallions). Many 3 bean salads are sweet. Splenda or stevia work very well.

I found conventional boiling didn't soften them- if that's too much
trouble, get the canned. It put chili back on my menu, a good grab and go
lunch With a salad

People would say it depends on which part of the Atkins plan you're doing.
Definitely not during induction. I see people replacing wheat flour with soy
flour in baking lower carb products, so I guess beans have lower carb than
cereal but definitely not as low carb as you would need them to be in some cases.

Eden canned black soy beans are only 2g net carbs/cup. Are you saying that
1 cup of dry uncooked beans has 7g net carbs/cup or after soaking and
cooking?

I wouldn't use beans in induction. I guess in the 2nd phase they would be
farther down the road also. I Didn't try them till I Was in my 6th month
of low carbing.

I just looked at the USDA and fitday counters, It matters what kind you get
I guess. iwas taken back at the 7 carbs I was checking before posting and
here is why:

Mature black soybeans are 2 net carbs. If they are green, it is 7 net carbs

Interesting. So, like avocados, they *lose* carbs as they ripen.
Fascinating.

To a point- I don't know-. A green banana is "has more starch" but I doubt
the carb count would change because then its sugar.

I think maybe its a variety- because the yellow beans have more carbs, and
are easier to find.

The yellow soy beans are a completely different variety. The black soy
beans are about the same size and shape as kidney beans. Once they're
cooked, it's hard to tell the difference from kidney beans.

Wrong again! Rofl

Your not very good at this high carb/low carb thing are you?
Just because it is low carb, doesn't make it crappy either, unless your
mommy can't cook. Get out more and try new things.

Hint: Give your mommy the night off from having to cook for you.

But you said below that mature black soybeans have 2 net carbs and green
have 7 net carbs. Which is correct -- that ripening lowers carbs or
that different varieties have different carb counts?

The Eden canned ones aren't the same size and shape as kidney beans.
They're both oval, but soy beans aren't kidney shaped. And kidney beans
are bigger.

both are correct using the USDA database. Search under soybean.
I've got the latest download version. I think the green soybeans are a
different variety

The Eden canned black soy beans I get are shaped just like kidney beans,
not pea shaped, although they are maybe *slightly* smaller. And yes, they
are Black SOY Beans, not black beans.
