So I am new to the Zone. I made this Zone Chili today... Loved it. Not sure how to count it for blocks. The recipe says it's an 8 block meal. What does that mean? Help please. This block stuff is confusing and I don't know why. Paradise |

IF the recipe states that the entire recipe is 8 blocks,
then there are 8 blocks each of Protein, Carbs, and Fat.
(Or 8 Zone servings, if you prefer...)
So, for a 4 block meal divide in half.

Just think of a Zone block as a Zone serving.
ONE zone serving (a Zone Block) is:
7 grams Protein, 9 grams Carbs, & 3 grams Fat.
So, a 4 block (4 serving) meal is:
28 grams Protein, 36 grams Carbs, and 12 grams (Healthy) Fat.
.
Easier, now?
