    Yes, the myplate helps figure out types of choices.

    MFP tracking helps figure out actual quantity and how everything adds up together.

    • Plus creates a food log.
    • Snap a picture of the plate after you dish up - you should be able to deconstruct the foods you chose to look similar to the myplate.

    I tend to enjoy soups, salads and (bento-type) bowls... so, when altogether, it looks like a mixed up dinner salad or large soup bowl, but what I chose to add, looks like the myplate.

    Selected ingredients/myplate servings... entered into MFP food tracker, quantities adjusted, food combined into salad, then enjoyed.

    Food log later given to docs nutritionist who referred me here for logging.
