    Hi, Im new to the zone diet, and confused about my protien block number. Here's what I have:

    Body fat: 33%
    Fat mass: 44 lbs
    Lean body mass: 90 lbs
    activity factor: 0.5
    Protein prescription: 45 grams / 7 grams = 6.4 protien blocks per day.

    Is this correct? Also, how do I break this up through my day?

    Break?
    Lunch?
    Snack?
    Dinner?
    Snack?

    Being a full time college student, and late night eating, I have put on about 17 lbs in three years. :(

    Dr. Sears recommends a minimum of 11 blocks daily for adults. You'd eat a 3 block breakfast (that 's 3protein blocks + 3 carbohydrate blocks + 3 fat blocks), 3 block lunch, 1 block afternoon snack, 3 block dinner and 1 block evening snack.
