π½οΈ Master Your Plate with Portion Proportion! π²
Hey foodies! π Let's talk about a game-changer when it comes to your health and happiness...proportion of foods on your plate!
You've got a plate full of deliciousness in front of you. π But wait! Before you dive in headfirst, let's take a moment to understand the importance of the proportion and serving sizes of foods. π€
π Focusing on 1/2 plate: colorful fruits & vegetables,
1/4 plate: quality source of protein (like fish, eggs, tofu, or pulses),
1/4 plate: Whole grain, seeds, and nuts can help with βοΈ weight control, support metabolism, improve energy, and support healthy digestion.
π½οΈ By managing your proportions and portions you can ensure you get all the essential nutrients your body needs π₯π₯© π without counting calories or calculating macros.
Here are some practical tips!
π½οΈ Plate division: Imagine your plate divided into sections: half for colorful veggies, a quarter for lean protein, and the last quarter for wholesome carbs. π₯¦π Keep those ratios in mind to create a balanced meal every time!
π Special occasion foods: When it comes to pizza, cake, or takeout, it's totally fine to indulge! ππ Just stick to a smaller portion to satisfy your cravings without going overboard.
π°οΈ Don't watch the clock: just eat because the clock says so! Tune in to your body's hunger cues, and stop when you're comfortably full. π§ββοΈ
