A surprising amount of people think that they eat healthily when in reality, they don’t.
The good news is, there’s an easy way to make sure that your meal is healthy and balanced. You just have to follow these guidelines to create a healthy plate of food.
First of all, let’s start out with some basic misunderstandings people have.
Many people can’t really tell the difference between something healthy and something balanced. While the notions are very similar and should both be sought after, there is a little nuance.
For example, you all know that fruit and vegetables are super healthy. But they do not make a balanced meal on their own.
A balanced meal provides all the nutrients you need without over-consuming calories and should involve many different food groups.
Another mistake people make is just adding a piece of fruit to their meal and calling it healthy. You should actually do the opposite: create your entire lunch around healthy foods and add in a little treat at the end.
Now that these things have been cleared up, here's how to eat healthy meals with the plate method.
1. Fill up half your plate with veggies. Vegetables will give you lots of great vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and fiber
2. Protein-pack ¼ of your plate with healthy and preferably plant-based protein.
3. Carb-up the rest! Carbs provide fuel for your entire body, and your brain specifically thrives on carbs: include them in every meal. They’ll also give you some healthy fiber.
4. Don’t forget the fats!
Some healthy fats are important! They play a role in brain health, hormone regulation, vitamin absorption, and make foods tastier and more filling.
This video will give you food ideas for each of these categories!
You can also adjust your plate the way you want it!
You can use the plate technique to visualize the quantities of food you should be having, but you don’t have to actually divide it and eat it that way, that could get pretty boring.
Eating balanced meals is very important for your health, but can be a bit difficult if you don’t know how. You can now make healthy meals with the plate method: you know exactly how much of your meal should be dedicated to fruit and veggies, protein, carbs, and fat.
