Zone Meal Plans

Question 1

How many (g) = 1 block of protein, carbs and fats?

Question 2

How does the “Zone Scheme” work?

Answer 2

All of humanity calculates to either 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-block meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with either 1- or 2-block snacks between lunch and
dinner and again between dinner and bedtime.

We have simplified the process for determining which of the four meal sizes and two snack sizes best suits your needs.

When constructing meals what should we take into consideration when it comes to grams of fat per block?
