Worry less.  Beans' high fiber makes them a very healthy choice.

Those are my favorite for baked beans.

Chile'.  I am in the "LITE" version of the club, which was on offer for, like 90 seconds, a few years ago.  And it's still more carbs than I really need.  

 

Yes, @Laurentius, the fiber helps.  But only so much.  It turns out that "healthy" is a spectrum, not a binary.  

 

**Especially if your carb load includes [non-negotiable] wine.

I switched to the Lite Club for a while and even that was too much for just me. Sadly, I had to stop. I felt really bad doing it since I've been a member for so long. But I have so many beans, I do not think I am in danger of running out. I do miss getting the extra things.

Well, I did some googling and I get what @Laurentiusis saying.  I think once in a while beans are ok--I won't feel so guilty about making them. 

 

@Maison RustiqueI have tons of beans, too.  I give a lot to my mom when she comes--I may mail her some soon actually.  I wonder if your friend who brings you food would like some of your beans?  Make him take a few bags :)

I quit the bean club "lite" maybe more than a year ago, and I still  have beans from the last delivery!

 

In any case, I shop at Formaggio Essex, and they basically carry all the RG beans (as does Union Market), so I'm in no fear of running out.

Anyone still in the bean club?  I am.  And I need to not be.  We're trying so hard not to eat many carbs.  But I can't seem to cancel due to FOMO.

 

I'm excited to try the hot sauce.

Sadly I can't quit either.
