aren't beans high in carbs?

[HippyChic]

I thought so too but the carb count in the nutritional value didn't look too bad. I haven't tried Fit Day or anything, I was just going by what this recipe source had listed.

OK, I just went and looked it up on Fit Day and for canned kidney beans it has approx 40 g. and 16 g. of fiber. So I guess if you figure that the 7 net carbs for the recipe is per serving and you get 6 servings out of a batch that would be about right by the time you add in the count for the other items.
