]]> Comment on Where's the Beef? by Teddy Kim http://twintowncrossfit.com/2010/05/wheres-the-beef/#comment-33 Teddy Kim Fri, 21 May 2010 16:15:04 +0000 http://twintowncrossfit.com/?p=1164#comment-33 Yes, 1 pound or 16 ounces. The block vocabulary is because different quantities of food will satisfy your block requirements for protein, carb or whatever. For instance, a slice of bread might fulfill two carb blocks. You could also fulfill the carb requirement with 6 cups of broccoli or whatever. I just made those numbers up for the example. So rather than have to specify entire meal plans, you can just fulfill block requirements across the three macronutrient categories (carb, protein, fat) and know with fair certainty that you are getting the right number of calories in roughly the right proportion.

Why does the Zone use "blocks" instead of ounces or grams? Now I'm curious... Does the scale say one pound of beef? Why does the Zone use “blocks” instead of ounces or grams? Now I’m curious…

(And more mentally mature to accept the risks, though 16 is still way too young for that.) Whereas CrossFit focuses on functional training (yay!) that we can hope does not and will not cause the same kinds of long-term body damage (double yay!).
