The salad is NOT part of the 33/33/33.
You eat a salad containing 2 cups of raw salad greens BEFORE your Reward Meal, and then you have a meal in one-third of the plate is given to PROTEIN; another third of the plate is given to low-carb VEGETABLES, as listed in the CALP book; the last third is for your carbs of choice.
You EYEBALL the thirds, making sure they are similar portion sizes. There is no counting of carbs or grams of fat or calories. No weighing anything.
AND you have to eat the entire meal within 60 minutes.
