The ‘Plate Method’ is often used for diabetic meal planning, but it also works well for weight loss and teaching good nutrition. When using the ‘Plate Method’, your goal is to fill ½ your plate with vegetables, ¼ of your plate with a lean protein and the other ¼ should be a starch. Then add one serving of fruit and one serving of low-fat dairy outside the plate and you are ready to eat a healthful, portioned-control meal!
