How man calories does a ham bone add to beans?

Question

I'm on weight watchers, and I want to know how many calories and grams of fat add to my crock pot of beans. I'm using tasty anasazi beans.

Answer 1

That would depend on how much meat and fat is left on the bone, and how much marrow is inside of it!  If you put in a fully scraped off bone, you'd just have to count the marrow - but a bone that was loaded with a bunch of ham, would count as adding the actual meat to it......

Answer 2

I am a former chef and agree with the first person, it will add more flavour than fat, if concerned just use the bone and not the meat, if any, the marrow is not a big deal it was melted and rendered in the first cooking process, for future reference, buy a lite ham slice and just use it as flavour, grind or chop it up.
