He says "eat until satisfied, not until full." And "if you can feel your stomach after a meal that means you have eaten too much."
There is always the thin chance that he misspoken in the "excitement" of the moment but guaranteed, beans is one cup minimum in Dr Fuhrman's world. And yes, that is one of the big differences between him and Dr McDougall.
Adrienne wrote:It was not the calories of the starch that Dr F was concerned about. The discussion was about potentially getting too much protein. Again, I do not doubt what Dr F has said in the past. And again I think the point he was getting at is that when you are eating a variety of foods you will automatically not eat too many beans. But he did in fact state that he did not "recommend much more than a cup a day either." Not sure what "much more" means though.

Eat at least a half-cup serving of beans/legumes in soup, salad, or another dish once daily. 3. Eat at least three fresh fruits a day, especially berries, pomegranate seeds, cherries, plums, oranges. 4. Eat at least one ounce of raw nuts and seeds a day. 5. Eat at least one large (double-size) serving of green vegetables daily, either raw, steamed, or in soups or stews.
