hi everybody we have to eat the blocks that the calculator says, right? I eat 12 blocks, but anyway... the thing is i'm on vacations, so i wake up at 10:30, i take my breakfast at 11:30, snack at 2:00, lunch at 4:00, snack at 7:00 and dinner at 9:30. But i'm going to be in classes, so i'm going to wake up at 6:00 and i'm going to bed at 11:00pm. My question is: must i add or share up my blocks??

Hi Karen,

 

Yes, you should eat your full protein (block) requirement daily.  It's important to eat Zone balanced amounts of P, C and F each time you eat.  For example, if you eat a 3 block meal, you'd eat 3 P plus 3C plus 3F all in the same meal.  You would not eat 3 P and only some of the 3 C saving the rest for later.  This would not let you stay in the Zone.    For more info click on the Zone Food Blocks tab here: http://www.zonediet.com/Tools/Quick...fault.aspx   

 

Note the 3 meal and 2 snack daily menu is a suggestion.  You can split you blocks in other arrangements of balanced P, C, and F blocks throughout the day to suit your schedule, as long as you take care to stick to the Basic Zone Rules.  These rules are found in the link I just mentioned above.  For 12 blocks daily, you could stick to the 2 meal 2 snack menu and increase to a 4 block breakfast to get the 12^th block in (4/3/1/3/1) or you could eat 3 snacks (3/1/3/1/3/1), or even have 6 smaller meals throughout the day (2/2/2/2/2/2) .  If you exercise first thing in the morning when you wake up you could do this 1/3/3/1/3/1.   It’s very flexible, as long as you keep you balance and stick with those rules.
