How many carbohydrates in kidney beans?
I love rajma chawal, but I'm also trying to eat healthier and understand my food better. Does anyone know roughly how many carbohydrates are typically in kidney beans? Just trying to keep track of my macros.

Kidney beans, or rajma, are actually quite carb-heavy. For every 100 grams of boiled rajma, you're looking at around 22-23 grams of carbohydrates. Good source of fiber too, though.

Honestly, knowing exact carb counts is very important if you have any conditions like diabetes. I once assumed it was low and my sugar spiked. Please, if you have any health issues, check with a dietician or your doctor first, they can give precise figures based on your needs.

Dude, rajma chawal is my staple, so I checked this last semester. Approx 20-25g carbs per 100g cooked. But like, it's also got protein and fiber, so it's not just empty carbs na?

Yeah, kidney beans have a good amount of carbs. Mostly complex ones, so good for energy.

My doctor told me that a 100-gram serving of cooked kidney beans has roughly 23 grams of carbohydrates, with a good chunk of that being dietary fiber, which is beneficial. So, while the carb count seems high, the fiber helps manage blood sugar better than simple carbs. Always soak them well before cooking, reduces the gas effect too.
