She has put me on a high protein diet to help me achieve my goals - but one of the portions of protein is beans. When I mentioned I was confused about the carbs, she said "Yes, they have carbs, but they're such good fiber I'll take 'em. Fiber is really important too." This nutritionist is "Woman of the Year" in my city, not a mail-order-certified quack. I just had an appointment with a nutritionist.

I guess it depends on your goals, right? So I think I need to write a post that describes the nutritional needs for specific goals. Runners surely have different nutritional profiles than body builders. This could be quite interesting! All points duly noted! I guess it depends on your goals, right?

And if you are a reader of Mark's Daily Apple, then you know he DOES espouse a low-carb diet. In that context, his take on beans make perfect sense IMO.
