Note:
On the Zone Diet, you want to keep the amount of saturated fat
to a minimum. Therefore your primary source of protein will
consist of low-fat choices such as chicken, fish, turkey, egg
whites, low-fat cottage cheese, tofu, soybean imitation meat
products, and isolated protein powders as opposed to bacon,
steaks, and sausages.
