Yes and a great carb source. Blackbeans are great instead of sweet potatoes or brown rice or whatever people like.

I would consider them your carb source and stick with the meats for protein/fat.

whats the best beans to eat for carbs and fiber. my parents eat navy bean stewed in a crocpot with some smoked meat.

I think the problem with beans is they make us all fart. And seeing how we are all loading up on protein, and eating lots of eggs, we are already farting and don't need anymore fire power. That's why I steer away from beans. They're also a great source of fiber that can help lower BP and cholesterol.

Once a week I make chilli:

1 can red beans
1 can black beans
1 can chillies
1 can low sodium stewed tomatoes
1 onion
1 - 2 lbs lean ground beef
1 package false or 2 alarm chilli kit

I prefer the chilli kit as the salt can be omitted.

black beans are great, considered a super food...lentils are favorite of mine too.

Beans make us fart because they do not digest easily always. they will sit in your gut and the bacteria in your gut start attacking it so to speak causing gas. There are better sources of carbs and protiens in other foods. beans are ok every once in a while. i would not make them a staple in your diet.
