Hey everyone I'm new to the beach and im quite confused about the bean servings. Is 1/3c. suppose to be the equivalent of 2c. of veggies? Also, is the 1/3c. suppose to be before or after cooking? Because alot of beans such as lentils expand alot when you cook them and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't eating too much beans cause they are high in carbs! Please Help:)
Thanks!

no the 1/3 is part of the 2 cups of veggies.. and it's measured after cooking and it's actually 1/3-1/2 a cup but you can have it more than once a day...

so you would stll need 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cups of veggies per meal
