    Hi everyone!
    I have a nutrition question/tip for you: What is on your plate?
    I try to aim for:
    one half of plate: Vegetables
    one quarter of plate: Meat or alternate protein source
    one quarter of plate: whole grains

    My plate would be similar, although I have been known to eat bags of fresh spinach as a snack x

    I eat my lunch and dinner out of a mixing bowl. A whole bag of lettuce, whole cucumber, whole tomato, 4oz of lean meat, 100 of mushroom and hot sauce. All weighed. A plate can't fit what I need in my stomach.

    Doesn't literally have to be a plate. The proportions or ratios are what's important.

    My proportions look nothing like that, is what I'm saying.

    I'm pregnant and always craving fruit...so lately my plate...or bowl rather has been like 50% fruit, 40% low fat dairy and 10% walnuts, cashews or peanut butter. Breakfast is always lots of eggs though.

    Yep this. A typical day is no eating in the morning followed by my largest meal of the day between 11am -noon and that's usually 3 servings of frozen veggies, 1 serving of rice or pasta, 4-8 ounces of chicken and then a sauce; along with a serving of some sort of chips. And then a lighter evening meal usually of 3 servings of oats with a serving of fruit mixed in. And then I eat out several times a week, usually on the weekends, and those meals vary quite a bit.
