I recently bought some Soy Protein Powder and not sure how to count it. It contains 110 calories in a 30 gram scoop and has 1.5 grams of F, 0 grams C, and 25 grams P. Use a little less than 1 scoop would be 3 P and count as 1/2 F block? I plan on mixing it with Almond Milk which would be 2 F blocks, need to add fruit to make a complete meal.

You'd still need at least 1 moer F block ( refer to ** below for a better understanding). Easiest would be to consider the protein powder fat free when you use it, and simply double the number of F blocks you add to the meal.



**Here’s how Dr. Sears explains fat blocks (taken from MASTERING THE ZONE, page 292 and 293).

“Why is a fat block only 1.5 grams?

Every block of low-fat protein contains approximately 1.5 grams of “hidden fat”. Therefore, by adding one extra fat block (which is defined as 1.5 grams of fat) for each block of low-fat protein, you are actually consuming 3 grams of fat or two blocks (one internal in the protein and one external) for each protein block. If you are using fat-free protein sources, such as isolated protein powders, then you should be adding two blocks of fat to achieve the same ratio. Obviously, if you are eating higher fat protein choices, you would not be adding any extra fat blocks to your meal. Remember that every time you add additional fat blocks to a meal, they should be composed primarily of monounsaturated fat.”

Common fat free proteins eaten on the Zone diet are egg whites, protein powder, some deli-style meats, and some soy products.

YES, a little less than 1 scoop is 3 P and 1/2 F. A heaping scoop would probably be 4 P.
However, look at the scoop, it can be deceiving, because in most scoops there is a little line just partly down from a leveled amount across the top of the scoop. If so, the leveled amount would be the heaping amount!
.
I am betting that companies do this, because most folks do not notice the line on the scoop, and therefore would level the scoop (its just natural to do - as with measuring cups), thereby using more each time, and thereby repurchasing their product more often.

Or am I a little too skeptical?

or maybe both? (jk John, lol!) :-)
