Healthy Eating Easy Portion Control Plate

This plate, rimmed with proactive terms, offers an easy way to begin eating better and more mindfully. Simply make half of each meal non-starchy vegetables and/or fruits (fill the green section of the plate), one-quarter of each meal grains or starchy vegetables (fill the beige section), and one-quarter of each meal a protein (fill the salmon-colored section). Use fats sparingly, stay away from refined sugars, and drink plenty of water and non-sugary liquids. You'll soon be on your way to better nutrition and a healthier life. (Detailed guidelines for exact portion sizes and what category foods fall into can easily be found online.)
