Are Green Beans part of your Diet?

[chewyxrage]

I eat a can or two per day. The "no salt added" type.


I usually eat a can and a chicken breast for a meal.


They seem like a decent filler. Kinda like a salad greens.


What are the collective thoughts on Green Beans as a good food add to your muscle building diet?

I like steamed green beans for the texture and taste, but I think canned green beans, especially the low-sodium kind can be a good source of vitamins/minerals.

lol it was in the muscle food section. i didnt put any details or anything. i was just watching manswers and it was like which vegetable can cause erectile dysfuntion? and they said the french style cut green beans in the can absorb the chemical estrogens from the metal can more than any other vegetable.

Don't eat french, homie Eat them whole.


I eat a can per day w/ my chicken breast or two, adds a great filler, fiber, etc. Diagnosis, delish!

Anyone disagree? I'm looking for some alternate opinions here.

Yep frozen whole green beans for me as well.

I was on the french ones for a bit then I switched over to the whole ones

I've been buying fresh green beans lately, a bit more work but so damn good.

I usually boil for about 5 minutes, drain, spray some olive oil, a bit of garlic salt, roast for a minute or two, and eat with my chicken breasts.

So good! If I'm being lazy I'll cook the canned green beans. Doesn't happen that often now though that I know fresh ones tastes so amazing....

Love me some green beans!

My dad fixes the best ones, but course they aint to healthy that way lol. Not a hard problem to fix though, take the bacon out and some of the salt, and you got some good ol green beans!

when cutting absolutely, they're a staple

Yes. But you would be malnourished from not getting a balanced diet. If you did it much longer, your metabolism would start to slow down. Your body would start breaking down muscle and bone to get the nutrition needed.

They are staple no matter what. They contain Rubisco: the most abundant protein on earth..

Can't beat fresh green beans tossed in a little EVO and Good Seasons Italian dressing mix (watch out for the sodium count) and broiled until just tender.
