Can ANY of the carbs from white kidney beans be counted?

The phaseolamin found ins kidney beans is an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, so that in theory less carbs are absorbed in the digestive tract. But is does not mean they have no calories or all carbs are not absored.
I think you would be better off with something cheap like psyllium husk, which binds to practically anything.
