The Perfect Plate Formula
I’ve got a “hack” to share with you today that could be a game changer in your journey to healthier eating.
It’s NOT a new supplement, a superfood, or a fad diet. But it IS more effective – and healthier! – than all of those things.
Welcome to The Perfect Plate Formula!
It will help you create a delicious, balanced meal every time you sit down to eat… WITHOUT the stress of counting every single calorie or fretting over portions.
Here’s the breakdown:
Step 1: Fill half of your plate with veggies (& maybe a little fruit). This not only provides you with vitamins, minerals, and fiber but will fill you up without a lot of calories.
Step 2: Fill one-quarter of your plate with unprocessed starchy carbs (think sweet potatoes, quinoa, or squash). These give you the micronutrients and energy you need to keep going through your day.
Step 3: Fill one-quarter of your plate with protein. This could be lean meat, fish, tofu, or even beans. Protein is essential for maintaining and building muscle, especially if you’re active.
Step 4: Add 1 thumb of healthy fats. This could be avocado, a drizzle of olive oil, or a delicious healthy-fat-based sauce or dressing. Fats are important for SO many things, but especially brain health and helping your body absorb key micronutrients.
The best part? This simple formula works for everyday meals AND gourmet dishes.
Here are a few “Plate Perfect” meal examples:
- Roasted Broccoli + Salmon + Sweet Potato + Olive Oil
- Salad Greens + Grilled Chicken or Chick Peas + Starchy Veg (or 1/2 cup Quinoa) + Vinaigrette
- Tomato + Egg + Sprouted Grain Bread + Avocado
Remember, healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. With the Plate Perfect Formula, you’re always one meal away from eating healthy.
