I went over to the Zone website and did the whole calculator thing and here is what it came up for me:
11 Blocks a day
1 block = 7 grams of protein, 9 grams of carbs, and 1.5 grams of fat.
Now, at 11 blocks, that comes to 77 grams of protein, 99 grams of carbs, and 16.5 grams of fat. Total calories for that would be 853 FOR THE DAY!!!!
Hel-lo! If I could eat like a bird, I wouldn't be this size, would have been successful at the billions of other diets I have been on, and probably would not have chose LC. Anyone can lose weight on 853 calories a day. Sheesh! I bet I burn that many calories while I am sleeping!
Anyway, I'm not knocking it so to speak. I say whatever works for you. Someday, my appetite may be small enough to get my calories down that far without me feeling like I'm starving to death.
I do wish I had more accurate counts for what I should have as I often feel I am going overboard. This is not a result of years of lowfat diets as I never lasted on those ever, but just curiosity over my gorging. Seems like I eat more now than ever!
