I don't count points or anything like that but virtually all beans (legumes) are really good for you.
They're high in fiber and nutrition and they do fill you up.

Food that are higher in fiber (like beans) are sometimes higher in calories, but that's OK, the extra fiber kind of cancels out the extra calories

Another thing to consider: usually that serving size is dry--meaning that once they're cooked, it can be up to a cup of beans. Is that the case here?

I look at beans as a source*of protein. I would think if you were to use it as a source of protein that you could substitue it for such, if you want to eat more then also consider it as a carb, lessen your carb intake. Does beans give you gas if so take beano, that will help....... Enjoy!!

i thought it was pinto beans that gave gas.

you guys make me laugh.* I don't eat much beans, don't really care for them.*

Most people cannot digest oligosaccharide, a natural occurring sugar in beans. Exchange soaking water with fresh water several times helps reduce the oligosaccharide.

I like beans. Eat em alot due to the protein and fiber. Stay away from baked beans, lots of sugar.
