I am clean bulking and was looking for a cheap carb source. I bought a bag of pinto beans for the week and did 55g of carbs with eggs 1st meal and 55g carbs with chicken 3rd meal prior to working out.
Within 2 or 3 days I noticed I had huge pumps in the gym and my muscles felt and looked pumped throughout the day. When the beans ran out I went back to oats. After about 2 days the pumps were not as good and I didn't feel pumped throughout the day anymore.
I know it has to do with all the fiber in the beans. Has anyone else experienced this with beans.
If not try it for a week and see if you get the same results.
(Just warn the girlfriend or the Ol lady)

rotein:fat, while oats are about 4:1:1, meaning you get a bunch of fat calories in with your oats that you don't get with beans. Beans are also somewhat high in purines, although probably not in a significant enough amount to affect your pumps.
