How Many Zone Blocks Do I Need

To get the desired balance your goal should be to have a 1:1:1 ratio of protein, carbohydrate, and fat blocks at every meal and snack. The average female eats 11 blocks each day and the average male 14 blocks each day.

How are zone blocks calculated?

Number of Zone Carbohydrate Blocks: One block equals 9 grams of carbohydrate. This is the total carbohydrate in a food minus fiber. Number of Zone Fat Blocks: One block equals 3 grams of fat (1.5 if you’re using a low-fat animal protein source since that naturally has some fat).

What does a 40 30 30 diet look like?

What is 40/30/30 anyway? A 40/30/30 plan is one in which 40% of your daily calories come for carbohydrate sources, 30% of your daily calories come from protein sources, and, you guessed it, 30% of your daily calories come from fat sources.
