Now this is a question for Sandra. If you search her blogs I'm sure you'll find something on adding black beans to your gut load. https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/sandrachameleon/

For the most part, beans have the wrong calicum to phosphorous ratio. 100 grams of black beans have 123mg of calcium, 352 mg of phosphorous. So while adding a few beans from time to time certainly wont hurt (and indeed will add protein), beans are not a good regular gutload item.
