A precise combination of protein and carbohydrate is a central principle of this program. The golden ratio is 1:1. In Zone language, this means one block of protein to one block of carbohydrate at each meal and snack. In grams, this translates to 7 grams of protein to 9 grams of carbohydrate. An example of a block of protein is 1 ounce of uncooked chicken breast or 1.5 ounces of deli sliced ham. Carbohydrate blocks generally consist of 1 or more cups of greens or ½ to 1 cup of fruit.
