As you look at your plate in front of you. Do you know how to divide your portions? How much would be considered a portion? And what exactly should you consume when you eat. Do you know the answers to this? If not. Many actually don't know what is the correct portion size. Nor do they know how to divide their plate into portion groups. So we end up eating too much.
The way your plate should be divided.
As seen. Your plate should be divided into quarters. Excluding the good fats. Yes your body needs fat to function. So don't remove good fats from your plate. Quarter for starchy foods. Quarter for your preferred proteins. Whether you are vegetarian, Vegan or you eat meats. Still the same principle applies. The remaining half is meant for vegetables.
Now that you know how to divide your plate. Do you know what is considered portion size? No idea? Then allow me to help with an illustration. This is just a visual aid to know what is considered a portion. A better description for dividing your portions.
But did you know what is also considered starchy foods? You probably already know that rice, potatoes, pasta and grain falls under starchy foods. But did you know this? I only recently found out. So don't be surprised if you didn't know. Butternuts, pumpkin sweet potatoes. Yes it all falls under starchy foods too. So imagine how amazed I was to discover that. And here I thought it counts and vegetables. So when you serve dinner. Remember that it also falls under starchy foods.
