The Runcible Blog

I mentioned my B&M Vegetarian Baked Beans habit. Well, I didn't look at the nutrition facts, until now...

When I eat a whole can of beans for supper, I'm consuming 3.5 servings (1 pound!) for a total of:

• 525 Calories / 35 Calories from fat
• 3.5g of fat (7% daily value)
• 0g saturated fat
• 0mg Cholesterol
• 1190mg sodium (49%)
• 98g total carbohydrates (31.5%)
• 21g dietary fiber (84%)
• 73.5g sugars
• 21g protein
• 35% daily iron
• 14% calcium

It looks like a hefty dinner. (un)Fortunately, I don't know what those numbers mean. Any nutritionists out there?
