Portion Control: 🥗 The Plate Method

Healthy eating isn’t just about what you eat it’s also about how much. Even the most nutritious foods can cause imbalance when eaten in excess. Portion control helps you align your food intake with your body’s needs, supporting steady energy, weight management, and long-term wellness.

Recommendations

½ plate: Vegetables and fruits (fiber, vitamins, minerals).

ÂĽ plate: Lean protein (meat, fish, tofu, beans).

ÂĽ plate: Whole grains or starchy vegetables (brown rice, potatoes, quinoa).

Portion control isn’t about restriction, it’s about balance. Using simple tools like the plate method, you can enjoy meals from any culture while still supporting your health goals.

At Youtrition, we make healthy eating clear, practical, and personal so you never feel confused about how much to eat.
