Hi Jinx,

I hope I can help. The ratio is 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

So per Zone Block would be:
7 grams of Protein-9 grams of Carbs-3 grams of fat

If you are staying in the Soy Zone, then you are probably using Tofu as a protein also. If so, check the labels, make sure to calculate the fat grams if any and watch for the carbs
If you use Fat free tofu then add 1 fat block (3 grams of fat) for every protein block.

Meat and poultry we count as already having some fat in it. So if you were to have 3 oz of chicken (this equals 3 blocks of protein) then you are to add 1.5 x 3 = total fat blocks.

If this sounds confusing, which it can be at first, feel free to ask more questions. Hope I helped a little?

Fitday.com is a great way to calculate your cals and for free!
