Transcript.
Today we’re going to talk about a way to plan your meals that many healthcare professionals recommend which is called the Plate Method. The Plate Method uses the dinner plate itself as a blueprint for healthy meals. By reserving a portion of the plate for different types of food, it can help you build meals with the proper amounts and proportions of protein, starches, fruits and vegetables..
The traditional Plate method uses a nine-inch plate. You’d better measure yours, as most plates that people use are bigger than this..
When you set your plate on the table, imagine it divided in half and then one side divided again..
The large space is for non-starchy vegetables, with most experts recommending at least two in each meal. Non-starchy vegetables include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower..
One of the smaller spaces is for your protein serving—like meat, fish, or eggs. A properly-sized serving is usually 3 oz. for women and 4 oz. for men, or about the size of your palm, minus the fingers..
The other smaller space is for starches like potatoes or corn or whole grains. The right-sized serving here is half a cup of potatoes or beans or 1/3 cup cooked pasta or rice. With this section of your plate, you want to try to choose whole grains more often than starches as whole grains have fiber and other nutrients that many starches don’t..
When you think about it, the plate method is just one way to follow the general suggestions about a healthy diet. Setting up your plate this way usually increases the amount of vegetables you eat, and limits the portion size of foods that are denser in calories..
Outside the plate, a small serving of fruit, and one of dairy (like a small glass of skim milk or fat-free yogurt), are recommended for people at a healthy weight. These are eliminated for folks who want to lose weight..
And that’s all there is to the Plate Method. It’s simply using your dinner plate to help you serve up a healthy, well balanced meal. Thanks for watching!

5 Tips To Manage Gestational Diabetes With Food. Gestational Diabetes Meal Plan..
If you have diabetes (pregnant or not), there is a ton of conflicting information out there about the right way to eat..
As it turns out, traditional recommendations (remember the Food Pyramid?) may be steering us wrong. The FDA has been recommending less fat and more grains since the 1980s. So why is it that even though we eat less fat than ever before, we are more obese than ever?
This is a key question that researchers are interested in, and some of the answers will surprise you. Watch today’s episode for some encouraging, easy ideas for eating for a healthy pregnancy and healthy life!
Have a great week!
