Zone diet is the latest nutrition strategy that promises to improve  health, weight and athletic performance with correct ratio of carbohydrate to protein to fat intake. The  basis for Zone Diet  follows a formula of 40% carbs , 30% protein and 30% fats created by Barry Sears PhD. According to Dr Sears, this dietary regimen results in a greater delivery of oxygen to the working muscles, a condition known as "The Zone", where athletes perform better, mental focus is enhanced, and life is generally a better place

Chicken Taco Salad - The Zone Diet Recipes

Two 4-block meals
I would like to submit this recipe, not only for everyone else, but also to see if it's accurate. I'm new to this...5 days now! I'm already doing well! Thanks!!! I was shooting for 4 blocks of everything, did I make it?
For Two people
7 oz. skinless chicken breast (7 blocks protein)
2 tablespoons salsa
1 can black beans (drained/rinsed) (5 blocks, carbohydrate, check label)
1 1/3 teaspoon olive oil (4 blocks fat)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1/2 block carbohydrate)
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups torn lettuce (1/2 block carbohydrate)
1 bunch chopped green onions (1/2 block carbohydrate)
1/2 cup salsa (1 block carbohydrate)
12 black olives (4 blocks fat)
1 oz. low-fat mozzarella cheese (1 block protein)
Cut the chicken into strips and brown in the salsa. Set aside to cool, once cool cut into rough dice.
While chicken is browning, place olive oil in another pan to heat, add onion. Let onion sauté for a couple of minutes before adding the garlic. Then add the chilli powder, bay leaf and black beans. Stir that around for just a minute or so then add a cup of water, salt and pepper. Let the beans heat through.
In two bowls, divide lettuce, salsa, diced chicken, mozzarella cheese, black beans, green onions and black olives. Enjoy!
