Anyway, this hash has become a go-to breakfast for me. I eat a little shy of 2/3 cup of this with a few sliced strawberries, 1 tsp almond butter, 2 eggs over-easy, and 1/2 of a chicken sausage link.
*I count the bacon in this as a block of fat per serving... The bacon I used was 5g of fat per 2 slices.. so 6 slices = 15g fat, divided over 7 servings is roughly 1 block of fat. I know zone counts bacon as a protein... but bacon has way more fat-blocks than protein-blocks per serving... so I've counted it as a fat here. I don't know if it's right-- it's just what I did. My bacon has 5g of protein per 2 slices... so 15g of protein in the entire recipe, divided by 7 servings is about 2g protein per serving, which is a fraction of 1 block of protein (literally 2/7). Thus, I count the protein from the bacon in this recipe as negligible.
I've seen mixed reviews on how to count sweet potatoes on zone-- I've seen it range from 1/5cup-1/3cup = 1 block of carbs. I went with the 1/3 cup estimate. You could use 4.5 cups of sweet potatoes to make 18 blocks of carbs if you think I've underestimated the carb-block value of sweet potatoes. Or not.
