Hello everybody, I am curious of what you guys ate before and after working out. From what Dr Sears recommend in his Zone diet is to eat a small snack that is zone favorable about 30 minutes before the workout. And another zone favorable snack within 15-30 minutes afterward. Today I ate a zone favorite meal about one hour before and when I came back I ate a whole apple. I am curious of what you guys ate :) Thanks for replies. Laurent

Hi there!! :) I usually eat 1 block half an hour before workout and then I have dinner, so in total I eat only 1 extra block daily (because of the workout), this way I won't eat too many extra blocks per day. 8)

Hello, Thanks for the reply. In that extra block you eat on yoru workout day, what is it exactly do you usually plan to eat? Thanks! :)

If you eat an apple without any P or F you won't stay in the Zone.[/color:a896619c10]

hi again! I usually eat half a Zone Bar, or a yogurt (that has 7 grs of protein and 9 grs of carbs and no fat plus 3 almonds) or a cup of strawberries, 30 grs of chesse and 3 almonds as well. One of these things will do for me :D Claudia Ivette
