'The 5:2 diet means eating 'normally' for five days out of seven and then 'fasting' on the other two days out of seven. During the 'fasting' days, men should consume no more than 600 calories per day and women no more than 500 calories.' (Wright, 2014)
Therefore, for 5 days of the week you consume as you would normally eat (assuming you should be eating a balanced normal diet) and then on the other 2 days of the week still consume you food you desire but make sure that you don't intake more than 600 calories if a male, or 500 calories if a female for the whole day.
