Developed as a practical, evidence-based alternative to complex dietary guidelines, the Healthy Eating Plate provides a straightforward framework for making healthy choices. It emphasizes:

• Vegetable & Fruit Focus: Aim for abundance and variety, occupying the largest portion of your plate for optimal micronutrient intake.
• Whole Grains: Prioritize whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oats over refined carbohydrates for sustained energy.
• Healthy Protein: Incorporate a diverse mix of protein sources, including fish, poultry, legumes, and nuts, while limiting red and processed meats.
• Healthy Oils & Water: Choose healthy plant oils and stay hydrated with water, limiting sugary drinks and dairy.
