Zone Diet FAQ Answer
8) What
is a mini-block?
A mini-block refers to
one block of carbohydrate or protein or fat. One mini-block
from each macronutrient, when put together, make up one block.
One mini-block of carbohydrate equals to 9 grams. This could be a
half of an apple or a cup of green beans. One mini-block of
protein equals to 7 grams. An ounce of chicken or lean meat is
a good example of a mini-block of protein. One mini-block of
fat equals to 1.5 grams (or 3 grams - see below). This could be 1/3
tsp. of olive oil or a few nuts.
