How many grams are in a fat block?

How many grams are in a fat block?

• A. 7 grams
• B. 9 grams
• C. 14 grams
• D. 1.5 grams

Answer: (D)

In the Zone diet framework used with CrossFit nutrition, meals are built from blocks to standardize intake. A fat block contains 1.5 grams of fat, which scales with protein blocks at 7 grams and carbohydrate blocks at 9 grams. So the correct amount for a fat block is 1.5 grams. The other numbers correspond to blocks for protein or carbs, not fat (14 grams isn’t a standard fat block).
