how much protein and carbs in BEANS??

[joshbeam1]

I just got some beans from our co-op(sells lots of stuff that u get from nutrition/all nat. stores) got some beans(not cooked, canned, anything) just plan old beans in a bag. Some are kidney beans, navy beans, etc. Was curious as to how much protein are in em. Heard that beans have about as high protien as meat, but kinda doubted that. ANyone know??? thanks

seriously though, turn the can around and look at the nutrition label, same with the bags

* Incomplete protein, something to keep in mind
* LOTS of fiber, so some of the carbs are 'empty' and will make you gassy if you overdo it
