Cooked black beans — fiber-rich legume staple.

High in resistant starch and folate. Pairs especially well with rice for complete protein.

Best for

  • training days and glycogen refill — 23g carbs / 100g
  • budget meals where cheap energy density matters

Watch out

  • portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
  • sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink

How to log it

Weigh cooked black beans (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup cooked (~172g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Plain black beans (cooked) is the baseline above. Oil, frying, and restaurant prep usually raise the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
