Beans

Beans are probably one of my favorites. They are a great food and healthy for you. Of course, many prepared beans add ingredients in there that are not so good like the sugar and salt. I have eaten these kinds of beans. Other times, I will buy either canned black beans (or prepare my own), rinse them and mix them with egg whites in an omlette, etc. One good way is to buy a package of dried beans (and mix them up: navy, kidney, pea, etc.) and make only a small amount and refridgerate the rest. If you want to eat them becuase of the fiber and protien, you have selected a nice choice.
So they are kinda good to eat??

bush has lots of sugar in theirs. i got with van camp beans in tomato sauce. there are sugars, but its natural sugars from the tomato juice. and some added high fructose corn syrup 
but not as much as bushs!! i used to eat bushs all the time, still healthy id say. but van camps has less calories also because of the sauce its in.

They have a lot of sodium and "other" things in there. Some good old brown rice and even some batsmati rice would be better.
And yes - beans are still king (of course right up there with yams, oatmeal, chicken and brocolli )

(of course right up there with yams, oatmeal, chicken and brocolli )I agree. The packaged stuff is more convenient, but it's not going to help your fat loss. You have to consider everything in terms of what your goals are. For me, my goals are more important than "convenient" food.markeaton said:
you need to never eat pop tarts again...they are a "poison" to the body...high sugar and processed flour.
I had this emailed to me once, and I will paste below the top foods you should eat and the worst foods:
Best: oatmeal, yams, brown rice, 100% whole grain products, broccoli, fresh fruit, non-fat milk products (yogurt, cott. cheese), chicken breast, egg whites
Worst: ice cream, fried foods, donuts/pasteries, white sugar, soda, fruit drinks, bacon, white bread, chips, hot dogs
