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.
