Meal Portions & Clean Foods
ZEN Project 8 uses a simple measuring system. Eat 1 protein, 1 fat, 1 carb every 3 hours. We call it PFC Every 3.
Guidelines to Optimizing Your Portion Sizes:
- Let go of the calorie mindset. Simply follow your portion sizes each meal.
- You can measure your portion sizes by weight or with your hands (palm, fist and thumb). Do whatever is easiest and most convenient.
- Make sure you are hungry (never starving) before each meal and satisfied (never full) after. If you are hungry before 3 hours, simply eat a balanced meal before the 3-hour mark.
- If you measure food with a scale, always measure it pre-cooked since weight will be lost during cooking. If you measure portion sizes with your hands, pre-cooked weight does not matter.
Guidelines to Optimize Your Results
- You will be eating in three’s: eating every 3 hours with a balance of protein, fat and carbs.
- Eat your first meal within an hour of waking and your last meal within an hour of bedtime.
- If you fall off your IGNITE or THRIVE Phases for more than 3 days, you can reboot your plan by simply repeating the 14-day RESTART Phase.
- If you prefer a shake for breakfast, simply switch your breakfast and midmorning meals.
- Add a sixth meal if you’re still hungry after dinner: have a shake or a meal with protein + carb + fat.
Eat in 3’s
