If he swallows them whole, I am not surprised a large piece came out. When training, my boys tend to swallow the reward whole, never chewing anything. Knowing this, I keep rewards really small.
Plus, you don't want to give too many green beans or carrots and risk overdoing the fiber in his diet, causing gastro issues. My boys do not digest carrots well at all, so I don't use them. We have had a couple of scary incidents with gas, so I am careful with veggies in general. Every dog is different though.
