The Healthy Eating Plate created by nutrition experts at Harvard School of Public Health can be your blueprint for planning a healthy balanced meal. The guidelines are:
- Fill half of your plate with vegetables and fruits.
- Save a quarter of your plate for whole grains—not just any grains.
- Put a healthy source of protein on one quarter of your plate.
- Use healthy plant oils.
- Drink water, coffee or tea.
- Stay active.
