My Grandmother made me home made baked beans, are they good while I am on a diet?

Answer 1

Did she use a lot of sugar (any kind)? If so, then it probably isn't the best thing for you. If there is no sugar in it, then beans are full of fiber and are good for you.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber, both things that are good for you anytime.
You might not want all the sugary or greasy flavorings she might put into the beans, but once in a while you can have a little.

Answer 4

Yes. Beans are low fat, lots of vitamins too. Lots of fiber as well.

Found in the article below:
"Many people think it is a myth that baked beans are healthy but let me just confirm that the rumour is true - baked beans are one of the best things humans can eat."

Answer 5

Assuming that they don't have all kinds of heavy rich sauces added...
if all they had were water and spices then it's okay, beans are an excellent source of protein and gas inducers and have a lot of fiber.
If there was barbeque sauce added then you are doomed.

Answer 6

they are high in carbs so if you're on a low carb or no carb diet, it's probably not a good idea to eat a lot. Once is definitely ok though

Answer 7

they sure are..loaded with protein and fiber....if you're worried then just have a small portion now and then but I'd go for it because..1. they 're healthy and 2...your gramma made them for you,,,,grammas are special.

Answer 8

beans provide a lot of nutrition without a lot of fat.

Answer 9

Beans are good for you altho they can be hard to digest.

Answer 10

yes they are good for you while you are ona diet they are actually really good for you

Good Luck
