Zone Check


If I sauteed the above ingredients using 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, would it represent a well balanced zone meal? How many servings? Would I need to add any additional proteins/carbs/fats?

Issue 21

Hopefully by now most of you have made a few changes here and there to your regular diet. If you really want to start seeing and feeling changes, check out issue 21 of the CrossFit Journal. It does a great job breaking down the Zone diet into easy to follow meal blocks.

The journal recommends that for a minimum of 1 week, you weigh EVERYTHING. After doing so, you will have a much better gauge as to portion size when eating out, etc.

I once heard someone recommend to think of food as fuel for your body. You don't pump too much gas into your car when filling up, nor do you drive your car around all day on empty. Zone blocks will help you fuel up your body properly for ultimate performance.

So who's up for the 1 week weigh challenge?
