Okay, I have the book and everything...I am definitely stupid. My question is: if I have 11 blocks per day, that means that I can divide it amongs all my meals? And, if one block contains 7 grams of proteins, 9 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fat, this means that I'd be having 21 grams of protein throughout the day? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Enter the Zone is the most difficult to understand of all the Zone books (IMO). It gets very scientific.


Yes. You could eat 11 "mini-meals" throughout the day if you wanted. Just be sure to balance each "feeding" with protein, carb and fat.


11 blocks would be:
77g Protein
99g Carb
33g Fat
Remember, there's approx. 1.5g of "hidden" fat in each ounce (block) of lean protein.

Thanks so much for your quick reply! You're a doll! What book should I get? I was sooo darn confused with Enter the Zone...
Thanks,

I don't know if you learn the same way I do... but I found it helpful to buy some of the cookbooks. By making different meals from the books, I got an idea of what a 'block' looked like for different veggies, and what a 3 block meal would look like.

It's not precise... but it gives you a good idea!

I actually own all of the books (except for Age Free Zone) but that's becaus I work at a bookstore and get them cheap.

Hi I am trying to be a bit more creative with my food so I dont get bored and go off track. What are the name of the cook books you use for your low carb cooking.Thanks Jules.

MOstly I've been using the Zone cookbooks (100 Zone Foods and the Zone Perfect Meals in Minutes)... but I've brought home a few more to take a look at... I'll let you know how they go.

Is probably the easiest book to understand. Also, its like a $6 book! Good Luck!
