Hi, you count your meat for the day and your fruit for the day, and your melba/grissini if you eat it. Then you see how many calories you have to fill in up to your 500, and eat that many veggies

I usually eat a big handful or any veggie I'm eating, quite a lot, if I'm not counting calories. In the original protocol, zucchini isn't listed. I know some people eat it anyway and some plans show it. Just so you know if that matters to you.

Good luck!
