Because dietary needs vary by age, s*x, and physical activity, the ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฎ was developed to help the public make informed food choices.
๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฎ is a simple, visual, and practical guide that shows how to build a balanced meal at a glance, using accessible and affordable foods. It promotes proper portions and food variety through the following plate proportions:
๐ฅฆ One-half vegetables and fruits
๐ One-third rice or other carbohydrate sources
๐ One-sixth protein-rich foods
๐ฅ Water on the side
By translating nutrition advice into what we see on our plate, ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฎ makes healthy eating easy to understand and apply in daily lifeโat home, work, or school.
Following this balanced meal pattern helps support:
โ๏ธ Sustained energy and productivity
โ๏ธ Strong immunity
โ๏ธ Healthy growth and weight management
โ๏ธ Lower risk of diet-related diseases
Simple, flexible, evidence-based, and culturally relevantโ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฎ is healthy eating, the Filipino way. Practice it at every meal, every day.
