I'm a bit confused as well. My carbcounter shows soybeans at 6.2 g net/ 1/2 cup serving. Pinto beans are 1.7 g net/ 1/2 c. serving.

Yet for the same size servings, my black soy beans on the label show 1 g net carbs (not 6.2). And my can of pinto beans shows 12 g net carbs (18 g - 6 g fiber).

The numbers don't jive. I'll just go by the label of the food and see how I feel after eating the beans. I had the black soy beans today and felt no insulin response whatsoever. I get an insulin response after eating other kinds of beans though.

Nutrition is definately not an exact science. The method of collecting nutritional data, if I recall correctly, approximates values based on water weight. However, I wouldn't quote me on that. I'll have to find that information, unless someone else has it.
