Easy To Follow Healthy Meal Plate Model Makes Meal Planning Simple & Well Balanced

in #recipes6 years ago



Set a plate up as below :

1. Vegetables | 50% Of The Plate

Veggies are high in vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants and loads of goodness for your body - I usually choose: asparagus, green beans, lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, tomato, cucumber, kale, spinach, bell pepper or cauliflower. You can replace one half of the vegetables with fruits.

2. Protein | 25% Of The Plate

A portion should be comparable to the size of the palm of your hand - go for lean protein if possible, I choose: chicken, turkey, lean beef, fish, eggs or if you are vegetarian, enjoy plant-based alternatives such as tofu, lentils, chickpeas, beans or edamame.

3. Carbs | 25% Of The Plate

Go for unprocessed, fibre-rich whole grains or starchy vegetables. I prefer basmati or brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, bulgur, oats, buckwheat, squash or pumpkin.

4. Healthy Fats

A portion of your thumb tip - you could use olive oil, coconut oil, nuts or avocado.

You can adjust the portion of each food group depending on your level of physical activity and your goals.

Here’s one example of a meal built according to Healthy Meal Plate Model. Pictured here in this post created by @steemfoods is basmati rice, grilled beef, steamed asparagus, lettuce, yellow cherry tomatoes and olive oil.
