okay, I have my book.. Week IN the Zone. Everyone ready?
okay.. I asked this question before about a block for a snack.
someone told me the block is 1 P, 1C, 1F.

on page 73 of the week it says these are snacks.
2 Hard boild egg whites.. etc
1 ounce low fat string cheese
3 olives
1/2 apple

if these are snacks. Show me where the PCF are in each of them?

I don't have the book but I'm guessing the first recipe was something like:

2 hardboiled egg whites (1P)
1/4c. hummus (1C)
3 almonds (1F)

string cheese (1P)
3 olives (1F)
1/2 apple (1C)

If you go to the eating tab at the top of the page and click on the right tab you'll see a list of blocks. Each of the foods above can be found on there. There's one from the protein, carb, and fat sections of the list in each snack recipe.

it's not a recipe. it's a list of snacks.

1 ounce low fat string cheese = 1 P block

3 olives = 1 F block

1/2 apple = 1 C block

When you eat these threed things at one time you've eaten a 1 block snack containing 1P block, 1C block and 1F block.

so are all the fruits carbs?

Yes

okay. then why add fruit to yogurt which is also a carb?

If you add fruit to yogurt then you need to balance it with additional protein in the meal.
