Building a plate of food
This sounds pretty simple, but this is a huge mistake I see every day with women.
Please see the infographic below:
When putting together your meal follow the image above for guidance on portion sizes:
¼ plate of PROTEIN (at least 30g of protein at each meal)
¼ plate of CARBOHYDRATES (opt for wholegrains)
½ plate of VEGETABLES/SALAD/FRUIT (the more the better!)
Add a thumb sized portion of HEALTHY FATS (olive oil/nuts/seeds)
*Some proteins contain fats (e.g. oily fish like salmon/mackerel, chicken thighs) so added fats won’t be needed.
