Are Balance bars “Zone” favorable?
Yes. If you are following Barry Sears s Zone diet, one bar is the equivalent to two blocks each of carbohydrate, protein and fat. In his block system, macronutrients are broken down as follows: One carbohydrate block equals 9 grams of carbohydrate, one protein block equals 7 grams of protein and 1.5 grams of fat, and one fat block equals 1.5 grams of fat. A common error is made by individuals who claim the bar is too low in fat. They simply overlook (or are unaware of) the 1.5 grams of fat per block of protein.
