What is eating by blocks?
ReplyDeleteGreat question Alex, so eating by blocks refers to the Zone diet way of eating. It's about learning portion size. You can go to http://zonediet.com/body-fat-calc to find out how many blocks you would need in a day. A block consists of;
ReplyDelete7g of Protein
9g of Carbs
1.5g of Fat
So if you are eating a 3 block meal, then you will take 3 blocks of protein, 3 blocks of carbs, and 3 blocks of fat, which equal 21 grams of protein, 27 grams of carbs, and 4.5 grams of fat.
Here is an example of a 3 Block Meal:
3 eggs
4.5 oz sweet potato
9 almonds
This is a very disciplined way of eating because you have to weigh and measure all your food. Of course like anything it gets easier the longer you stick with it but for anyone just starting out with trying to eat healthy I wouldn't start with the zone, it would be very overwhelming.
