Cooked white beans: calories, protein and drained portions

Plain white beans boiled without salt provide 139 calories per 100 g or 209 per 150 g. These are cooked, drained weights, not dry beans before cooking or a serving of stew with oil and sauce. The reference is generic white beans rather than a tested value for every white kidney bean cultivar. [1]

How many calories are in a cup or ladle?

The source lists a cup of cooked beans as 179 g, giving 249 calories. Half a cup weighs 89.5 g and provides 124 calories. A household ladle has no fixed weight: one holding 100 g of drained plain beans gives 139 calories, while a ladle of broth, meat and beans needs the whole recipe.

Beans absorb water during cooking, so 100 g dry and 100 g cooked are different portions. Canned beans may contain added salt or sauce; check the label and whether the stated serving is drained. These figures do not measure nutrient losses from every cooking method.

Can beans be part of a weight-loss meal?

Yes. White beans supply both protein and carbohydrate: 9.73 g protein, 25.09 g total carbohydrate and 6.3 g fibre per 100 g. A 150 g serving provides 14.6 g protein, so beans can form a substantial part of a meal. [1]

Add vegetables or salad and decide how much rice or bread fits alongside them. A large helping of beans plus generous portions of both rice and bread is different from a measured plate. Beans do not produce weight loss independently of the rest of your food intake.

What if white beans cause bloating?

Some people notice gas or bloating after beans. Try a smaller serving and track the onion, sauce and other foods in the same meal before excluding all pulses. Increasing fibre suddenly can also trigger symptoms. If you follow a low-FODMAP plan for IBS, a calorie-calculator portion is not a personal tolerance limit. [2]

Use thoroughly cooked beans. The nutrient basis is USDA SR28 record 16050, mature white beans boiled and drained without salt; variety, cooking yield and the amount of liquid left in the serving can change the result.
