26g Fat = 9 blocks
49g Carb = 5.5 Blocks
27g Protein = 4 blocks
Almost!
Let's say you are trying to eat 4 blocks, the only thing not over is the protein. You need to scale back the fat and carbs. Less apple, and drop the almonds (sucks).
Try this:
Scrambled eggs of 2 whites and one whole (large).
3 slices Turkey bacon(butterball brand)
No almonds
1 large apple or 1.5 medium apples (7 oz)
That's almost exactly 3 blocks on everything
REmember, what's different about the Zone is that each macronutrient is equally represented and balanced at EVERY meal. That means some careful juggling and some time measuring, but can really pay off for those unaccustomed to this type of control.
Now, for Rx... Try doing 21 blocks a day for 2 weeks. If you comply 90% or more, and you are not losing weight, than try 19, then 18 etc until it works, or you die.
Good luck dude, and be sure to tell me or Mark how it goes!
Make sense?
