Here are some things that Zone Perfect makes: protein bars (very yummy), protein drink mix, premixed protein drinks, pancake mix, muffin mix, macaroni and cheese, crunchy snacks that resemble potato chips and such (quite crunchy but very tasty), and when I last looked they were also launching a line of frozen entrees. But it actually really easy to eat 'the Zone way' without much preparation. Here is an example of a typical day for me. Breakfast: a Zone or Balance protein shake, a large glass of water, vitamins. First snack: low carb yogurt (usually the store brand is sufficient) or a Zone protein bar, more water. Lunch: turkey sandwich on low carb whole wheat bread made with lots of turkey, some cheese, all the fixings, a piece of fruit or 1/4 of a cantaloupe or other melon, carrots or celery, diet soda, a small piece of chocolate cause I love it so, more water. I typically have a hard time eating all my lunch and so the carrots or celery gets pushed back to snack two. If not, snack two: some cottage cheese on a wasa toast, water. Dinner: a piece of chicken, pork, or beef cooked however, a large salad to start, some veggie to go with the entree, low carb hot chocolate for dessert. I highly recommend getting at least one of the Zone books. It will really help you to a) figure out approximately how many protein, carb, and fat blocks you can eat based on current weight and goals, and b) learn how to ready food labels the Zone way so that you came wade through ready made or prepackaged foods to make good choices. It doesn't take long to learn and once you get the hang of it you'll never cruise the grocery store in quite the same way. Hope this helps.
