How Many Calories are in Baked Beans (by brand)

Taking the baked bean brands in various can sizes above, the chart below shows the calories per serving of baked beans.

All of the calorie information is as per the pack information as stated by the manufacturer.

How Much Does One Baked Bean Weigh?

I weighed a number of individual baked beans on some calibrated precision scales and I found the following;

The average baked bean (I measured Heinz) weighs between 0.6-0.65g per bean without the sauce.

Bean sizes in a can of baked beans do vary slightly, and each tin will contain some tiny beans, but the majority fall into the average weight of around 0.6g per bean.

How Many Beans are in a Can

I counted all of the baked beans in a 415g can of Heinz baked beans and the total amount of beans in the can came to 432 individual beans.

The bean content in this can of beans is 51% and the rest of the contents is made up of sauce.

432 beans is an average figure and will vary between each can because beans come in various sizes and are measured by weight and not per individual bean.
