Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Just depends on my hunger level, whether or not I feel like I need the carbs, etc. I'm also usually getting the fiber elsewhere in my diet.
I usually get double meat so the protein isn't an issue. Plus the veggies have nutritional value as well. And usually less salt. Combine the beans with the rice and the sodium goes up. Not to an astronomical level, but most diets already have way too much salt in them anyway.
