Nutrition Example 1) Breakfast (Part 2)
Option 2) You can't let go of your “bread breakfast”:
It is not ideal, but if you get the quantities of your meal right, not all is lost:
- You still need to get some protein in this meal: How about some tuna? Half a can contains about 21g (3 blocks).
- If you can, get a better fat source than margarine. How about 30g of avo (better choice), or 1 teaspoon full of light mayonnaise? (3 blocks of fat each)
- Have only one slice of bread instead of two (24g of carbohydrates instead of 48g) and have the tomato (9g carbohydrates). No juice. Have water instead. [If you would like to keep jam or juice, go with ryvita or another “bread” source which contains less carbohydrates.]
You still get your bread with tomato, but traded the jam for some tuna. (If you can't do without the jam, there are ways of balancing this out as well). And slight adjustment for the fat source. Overall, you now have 33g of carbohydrates (3.5 blocks), 21g of protein (3 blocks) and 4.5g of fat (3 blocks) in your breakfast. Quality is still not ideal but your body will thank you for your adjustment, work way better and burn lots more fat than before. Don't get me wrong, I would never recommend eating bread to anyone, but health issues aside, thanks to the Zone, you can still pull it off if you have a slice here or there...
