Good food?

Or bad food?

Hmm, that poll doesn't make 100% sense ... yes = good, no = bad

I'm assuming you mean healthy?? Their's a lot of sugar in baked beans, so i would go with "bad".

but they're delicious... which makes them "good".

I changed it for you.

I would never choose baked beans as a carb. Loaded with sugar as stated above.

There a far better choices such as pinto, black, kidney, lentils, etc...

Not the worst carb out there, and beans have fiber...but I wouldn't call sugary bakes beans an 'ideal' food.

Yep - most baked beans have fairly high levels of sugar, although Heinz now do a low sugar/low salt version which tastes just as good.

The beans used are Navy beans which are high in protein and fibre and low in fat/calories.

WHFoods: Navy beans

I just like them as they are a quick and filling an stop me from snacking on other stuff.

I would say good as long as you don't eat too much of it. Great fiber source.

One can of baked beans on whole grain toast supplies you with 50% of your essential amino acids for a whole day!

How the hell do you know that?

Loaded with sugar definately, but not a "bad" choice I would say.

I voted good, I think the high sugar is worth it for the high protein and high fiber. If I eat em, I'll have em early on in the day, and stay active to burn off the sugar...
