Turns out, just about anything. Oatmeal of course. Just add some protein powder or slice up some Canadian bacon and you have a great Zone breakfast. Also easy is a quick Zone shake before bedtime. But what about more exotic dishes, say something forbidden? Which leads us to cheesecake. In the ancient world, all roads led to Rome. In our modern one, all diets lead to cheesecake.
I have found a recipe for Zoned Cheesecake. It's not possible, you cry. I don't blame you my spinach eating friend. I didn't believe it either until it was right before me. I've done all the dirty work for you. I have tested this cheesecake to ensure that it tastes like wonderful dessert and not dirt. I have diligently watched my weight to ensure that not only did I NOT gain weight, but continued to lose fat weight as I follow the Zone diet. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you ... Zoned Cheesecake.
3 large egg whites
32 ounces Philadelphia Fat Free* Cream Cheese *important to be fat free
1 cup granulated fructose
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup fat free sour cream
3/4 cup natural full-fat creamy peanut butter
50 grams of pure whey protein powder
Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and fructose until smooth. Add vanilla, sour cream, and peanut butter. Add whey protein powder until well blended. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture until well mixed. Pour the mixture into a prepared springform pan. Place the pan in 1 inch of hot water in it on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake the cake at 325 F for 45 minutes on the centre rack. Turn off the oven without opening the door, and let the cake cool for 1 hour. Cool thoroughly before unmolding. The cake can be covered in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for 10 days, or frozen.
Ahem... it makes 20 servings. Measure carefully. ;)

Thank you so much!! Can't wait to try that one out.
so when are you bringing in a sample to class to share with everyone? and thank you for switching back to ariel font. the tnr was driving my crazy!
I can guarantee that you will enjoy this cake. If you think about it, the only ingredients are egg whites, 0% fat cheese, 0% sour cream and natural peanut butter. But the taste is New York style goodness.
I love the peanut butter touch. We will be giving this a try:) Thanks Brandt.
