Default Re: Why can't I have a full 3 cups of salad like the serving size says on the package

The idea is to spread your carbs out through the day, and eat them with some fat/protein in order to avoid blood sugar spikes from the carbs.

That is why eating your three cups of veggies spread out during the day is recommended, less carbs all at once. Eating them with fat/protein slows down digestion, which also helps avoid blood sugar spikes.
