Diet Ratings
Black beans are legumes with approximately 20g net carbs per 100g cooked. A typical burger patty would exceed daily carb allowance. Incompatible with ketogenic carb limits.
Plant-based burger made from legumes. Whole food foundation, though may contain processed binders and oils. Check label for animal-derived additives.
Black beans are legumes, a core paleo exclusion. Burger patties are typically processed with binders and additives.
Black beans are legumes central to Mediterranean diet principles. A homemade or minimally processed black bean burger aligns well with plant-based emphasis. Score depends on processing level and added ingredients.
Plant-based legume product with grain binders. Completely incompatible with carnivore diet which excludes all plant foods and legumes.
Black beans are legumes, explicitly excluded from Whole30. The burger form does not change the legume classification.
Black beans are high in GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides), a fermentable oligosaccharide. Even small portions exceed low-FODMAP thresholds. Monash rates black beans as high-FODMAP.
Good fiber and plant protein, but commercial versions often contain added sodium (typically 400-600mg per patty) and may have added oils. Homemade versions are preferable.
Black beans are legumes with moderate glycemic index and good protein. Burger form typically adds binders and oils. Macro profile can fit Zone if portioned carefully, but higher carbs than ideal and processing require balancing with low-glycemic vegetables and monounsaturated fats.
Black bean burgers provide legume-based protein with fiber, polyphenols, and antioxidants. If minimally processed (whole beans, minimal binders), they align with anti-inflammatory principles. Whole legumes are emphasized in Weil's pyramid. Quality depends on formulation.
Good protein (10-15g) and fiber (4-6g) from beans. However, often high in fat (8-12g) from binders and oils, and high in sodium (400-600mg). Can be heavy and trigger bloating on GLP-1. Better to eat whole black beans or use TVP-based alternatives. Portion-dependent.
