I fed my discus two times to day so far. Half cube of beef heart each feeding and I removed the leftovers 3 minutes later. It hasn't even been a hour since their last feeding and they're begging. They been in my tank for less than 24 hours and only got fed 3 times a day at the store.

Discus will most always seem to be begging for food, even when they've already been well fed.
Twice a day should be enough, but feed them a 3rd time if you wish, cleaning up any leftovers afterwards.

This is definitely not enough time for the discus to eat. Discus are grazers and take a while to eat food. Leave the food for at least 15 minutes and then remove any uneaten portions.
