    I have been eating a low glycemic, heavy on complex carbs diet for 5 yr. now. But I decided to pull out my old copy of THE ZONE and tweak what I've been doing. This lead me to a little confusion.
    If I follow the calculations in the book (using the appendices) my LBW of 90 and light exercise means that I should consume 54 grams (or 8 blocks) of protein.
    When I enter my numbers into your on-line calculator, IT indicates I need 11 blocks.
    Am I missing something? Have I miss calculated? Has there been a change in the thinking of the ZONE? I want to be in the zone and therefore don't want to eat too much or too little protein. Please clarify.

    Except in rare cases, Dr. Sears recommends no less than 11 blocks of protein.
    Therefore the on-line calculator is designed to show no less than 11 blocks.
