Start with structure
A balanced plate makes nutrition easier because it removes guesswork. For most meals, begin with a strong protein source, add colorful vegetables, include a moderate portion of carbohydrates, and finish with a satisfying fat source.
A simple plate formula
- One palm-sized protein source
- Half a plate of vegetables
- One smart carbohydrate portion
- One thumb-sized healthy fat
This approach helps with energy, appetite control, and consistency across the week.
