It's incredible how much vegetables I am eating. It's actually difficult to finish my 3 block meals because of the amount of vegetables. I don't know if my first snack was actually on the zone though.. I decided to take my car to the mechanic and got stuck at Whole Foods.. I'm still not familiar with what foods equal one block, so I had to make a guess.. I know that the Greens + Bar is high in good carbs, protein & good fats. It's also an all natural bar, but it has a lot of figs in it, so it may be too sweet to actually work on the Zone. Next time I'll plan for such situations. Maybe having snacks handy to eat if I get into a pinch. Again I repeat one of my favorite mantras.. "A failure to plan is a plan to fail."
