There’s no magic number, but a good rule of thumb: stick to one to two medium zucchinis a day. That’s plenty of fiber, vitamins, and hydration without turning your gut into a science experiment. Athletes, you can handle a bit more, but listen to your body—it’s smarter than your cravings.
If you’re feeling fine, you’re probably fine. Zucchini is forgiving like that. It’s the vegetable equivalent of a chill friend who doesn’t judge your life choices.
