A five egg white omelet cooked in olive oil with one square of laughing cow cheese. On the side were 3 slices of turkey bacon and 4 small plums. {My book says one plum is one carbohydrate…but, not sure of the sizes of plums!!}
Tuna mixed with some soy Nayonaise and pickles. On the side is approximately one cup of strawberries and 2 plums. For desert, I ate 6 or so cashews.
Have a very large quantity of plums due to my backyard orchard of 2 plum trees.
Mid-afternoon snack of one scoop of chocolate protein powder, banana and water. Served with a few nuts on the side.
Dinner is when everything went wrong……It started with my chicken catching on fire and ended with a big handful of chocolate covered pretzels (bad mommy).
Below is the nice pretty chicken that I bought at the store after I torched mine. Note to self: Must learn how to use grill properly!
This is a sample of a day on the ZONE diet when I ate all my meals at home. I don’t think it’s perfect in quantities?!?! Which is why I am constantly rereading my books and notes on the zone diet.
Questions? Comments!?

Looks like a reasonable amount of food for one day, to me. In fact, I generally eat more than that, but I’m working out 7-9 hard hours per week. Well, and I’m not losing any weight, either. Hahah. Looks pretty healthy and yummy. I guess I’d want more carbs, but I understand you don’t eat much carbs on the Zone diet. Will be interested to hear how you feel after you’ve been on it a while.

Thanks for the comment, Sheila. The zone diet is not low carb- it’s more about getting your carbs from fruits and vegetables rather than breads..and, no, I don’t think it’s enough carbs, lol. Those plums are really small. 2 plums= 1 carb, so I should have eaten more. 1 banana = 3 carbs, and my dinner plate doesn’t have enough carbs either!
