Vegies and carbs question

I was reading over the cutting sticky and it says that Fibrous veggies are a staple, but keep in mind that they don't count towards intake.....

The one sample meal has a meal with lean protein and veggies for meal 3. Since it says that veggies don't count, is that meal a lean protein only more or less?

I might be reading too much into it, but I am trying to get together a cutting diet, and it would be easy for me to have a meal or two with just lean protein and veggies. Would the veggies not count towards carbs? On this meal am I going to burn the protein for energy?

Yes, those carbs don't count. Fiber doesn't count. Your assumption is fully correct as far as I can see.

So I definately can to add either fat or carbs to my protein meals even if they include veggies then, which is fine, I just want to make sure I do this right.

I always put ranch on my green veggies.
