What is the plate method of eating?
The plate method emphasizes wide variety of healthy foods including whole grains, lean meats and fish, vegetables and fruit, low-fat dairy products and healthy oils (such as olive, canola and corn).
Portions are limited by using the plate as a guide: In half the plate: fill with non-starchy vegetables and fresh fruit.
What is the 1 4 plate rule?
The aim is to fill ½ of the plate with veggies and fruits, ¼ with grains and starches, and ¼ with plant-based proteins.
