2. Fats

Mono and polyunsaturated fats are present in trace amounts in navy beans, with less than 1 gram per half-cup serving. Unsaturated fats, such as those found in plants and fatty fish, are considered good fats.

Unsaturated fats should account for 25 to 35 percent of total daily calories, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). Navy beans prepared without the use of oil or butter are almost fat-free.
