For those who donāt want to calorie count or macro count, this is a simple guide to follow to still create balanced meals in the right proportions! This is by no means an āend all be allā, or āone size fits allā method, so just know that certain adjustments could be made to each individualās needs. The sections that I have marked as āveggiesā can also be replaced with fruits, and I didnāt show a section for fats but just know that fats are a macro-nutrient and can certainly be added to these meals! (A āthumb sizeā of fats is typically the norm). This plate setup is best to be used for a 3-meals-a-day diet. If youāre unsure what foods qualify under each category or need some inspiration for what food choices to make for each, here are a few options I love to use (but you arenāt limited to):
Protein: chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, beans, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese
Carbs/Whole Grains: rice, pasta, bread, lentils, oatmeal potatoes
Veggies/Fruits: broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, strawberries, banana, corn, peas
Fats: oils, butters, nuts, avocados, seeds
