Let's go on a picnic!!

Whenever you sit down to eat, think of your plate like its a picnic plate

1/2 of your plate should be vegetables, the greener the better
  • Any kind of greens or cabbage
  • Green beans
  • Any salad greens
  • Cucumber
  • Tomatoes
  • carrots
  • broccoli
1/3 of your plate should be a piece of meat the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand
  • Fish
  • Lean chicken, Beef or Pork
  • Grilled or baked
1/3 of your plate should have a carbohydrate
  • rice
  • potato
  • pasta
  • bread
Choose Fresh fruit for dessert and snacks in between meals.....

If you are still hungry at the end of your meal, go back to your green leafy veggie
Veggies are low in calories, fat and cholesterol and packed with vitamins!
