So I propose that in April we have ourselves a little cleanest diet contest. Like on that Seinfeld episode, we will be bound within the confines of the honour system. I will create a page where we can post our meals. As an example.
Mike - March 20 th Breakfast 5 block meal:
Protein: 3 oz canadian bacon,1 glass of milk, half cup plain yogurt.
Carb: 1 glass of milk, half cup plain yogurt, 1 cup strawberries, half cup blueberries, tsp sugar
Fat: Macamedamias, almonds
Lunch 5 block meal:
Protein: 4 oz ckn, 1 glass milk.
Carbs: 36 spear asparagus ( 3 blocks) 1 tbs raisins, 1 glass of milk.
Fat: Handful of assorted nuts. macamedamias,almonds,pecans.
I cooked the ckn in a curry paste, and the asparagus was sauteed in a little garlic butter both of which I did not account for in the blocks. So a little extra carb this meal.

ReplyDeleteSoooooooooooooo totally a good idea!! Count me in!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I need to badly! Now, i just need to figure out what the Zone diet actually entails...
ReplyDelete40% Carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. At each meal and snack. We will dig up some zone meal and block charts to help. In the meantime just search Zone Diet.
