Hi megan

you're posting the right way but from what I learned from Gina and the articles I've read, this zone thing is most beneficial if you try to eat the same # of blocks for all 3 proteins, carbs and fats at each meal. Gina has some real good articles that explain it. My zone # is 11or 12 so I try to split it evenly for each meal and snack. So I eat maybe 3p3c3f for breakfast etc. so it adds up to a total of 11 or 12 for the day

By the way I saw you running today......You're on my team right? let's kick butt

Hi Meghan!
Yes - you are recording right. You get 11-12 blocks (depending how much you are running). If you are working out/running 5-6 days per week then 12 blocks. If less than 5 days per week then 11 blocks.
Try to keep it balanced per meal (3 - 3 block meals and 1 - 2 block snack...or something close to that).
Did you get the handout at the gym? I can email it to you also if you need it - just let me know.

Good luck!

Gina
