Zone Buddy is a powerful application that helps people on the zone diet keep track of their daily block allotments and provides other useful tools listed below. The zone diet is attributed to Dr. Barry Sears who suggests a 40-30-30 (carbs to protein to fat) ratio to achieve optimal health. We have also denoted paleo foods within our food database for all of you crazy paleo people out there.
Zone Buddy features:
-Food database in which users can search for a desired food or choose to limit the search based on favorable, moderately favorable, or unfavorable foods. Once the food is chosen users can change the block amount and zone buddy will compute the respective quantity.
-Meal plans are laid out based on the users input which is initially set by determining sex and the build of the user. They are then given times and block quantities which can be changed in the settings menu if desired.
-Notes can be written within meals for users to keep track of the foods that they ate, how they felt, or whatever they would like to write about.
