September 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #186: What snaks are naturally in the Zone?
Tip of the Week
On the Zone, every meal and snack should provide 40 percent of calories from carbohydrate, 30 per cent from protein and 30 per cent from fat - 40:30:30 ratio.
To make the Zone easier to follow, it's recommended that you divide your plate into three sectors: one for low-fat protein and the remaining two sections with vegetables and fruit. How to apply it to snacks?
Have a piece of low fat hard cheese, a halve avocado, and a handful of nuts. Or, mix 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup of berries (fresh or frozen and thawed) and add a handful soy nuts.
