How To Interpret Your Results

Body Fat %

This is the percent of your total body weight that is both essential fat (your body needs it) and stored body fat.

Body Fat weight (lbs):

The total amount of body weight in pounds (lbs) that is fat

Lean Body Mass (lbs):

The total amount of body weight in pounds (lbs) that is muscle mass

Daily Protein Requirement (g):

Amount of protein you need to eat each day to preserve your lean body mass

The Zone Diet requires a constant balance of protein to carbohydrate at every meal and snack. A Zone Food Block is simply a measurement we use to define how much protein, carbohydrate and fat you should be eating. You want every meal and snack to have the same 1:1:1 ratio of Zone Food Blocks for Protein, Carbohydrate and Fat.

Number of Zone Protein Blocks:

One block equals 7 grams protein.

Number of Zone Carbohydrate Blocks:

One block equals 9 grams of carbohydrate. This is the total carbohydrate in a food minus fiber.

Number of Zone Fat Blocks:

One block equals 3 grams of fat (1.5 if you’re using an animal protein source since that naturally has fat).
