Healthy Eating Plate

Eating a balanced diet is an important part of eating healthy. The healthy eating plate below serves as a guide to create a balanced meal.

Tips for Building a Healthy Plate

• 1/2 of your plate should be fruits and vegetables. Aim for color and variety!

• 1/4 of your plate should be whole and intact grains (whole wheat, barley, quinoa, oats, brown rice, etc.).

• 1/4 of your plate should be protein, like fish, poultry, beans, and nuts.

• Use healthy plant oils {like olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, and others) in moderation.

• Drink water, coffee, or tea. Skip sugary drinks, limit juice to 1 small glass per day, and limit milk and dairy to 1–2 servings each day.
