Nutrition Example 2) Lunch / Dinner (Part 2)
Option 2) You can't let go of your “pasta meal”:
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 meatballs? 120g contain about 21g protein (3 blocks).
- Get some fat. This is an easy fix with a teaspoon of 100% virgin olive oil on top. (3 blocks of fat each)
- Keep the tomato sauce and the wine (7+4=11g carbohydrates), if you like, but cut out most of the spaghetti: 60g spaghetti give you about 16g carbohydrates for a total of 27g (3 blocks).
You still get some wine and the sauce and traded some spaghetti for meatballs. Overall, you now have 27g of carbohydrates (3 blocks), 21g of protein (3 blocks) and 4.5g of fat (3 blocks) in your breakfast for a balanced meal. Quality is still not good, but your body will thank you for your adjustment, work way better and burn lots more fat than before. The pasta is not ideal, but again, if you really have to, with the Zone (weighing and measuring), you can still pull it off and get away with it on occasion. Note that you should ALWAYS chose option 1 over option 2, if at all possible.
