Adjust what you see on your plate to reflect your weight goals.

The next time you have a meal, take a look at what its composition is. If you want to healthily lose weight – then what you see should look like a whole lot of fruits and veggies, some protein and a wee bit of whole grains. If you want to healthily gain weight (yeah, some people actually do!) – then – the picture will be more of an even split amongst the fruits and veggies, whole grains, and proteins. If this is not what you see at chow time – then chances are you won’t reach your goal.

Get the picture… no pun intended.

***Note: Healthy fats are an important part of a balanced diet – they are not shown here as this diagram is meant to represent a visual of what your plates composition should look like.
