Build a balanced plate: a visual guide

Build a balanced plate: a visual guide

A simple ½-¼-¼ method so dinner is nourishing without maths.

The ½-¼-¼ plate:

  • ½ non-starchy veg (colour + fibre)
  • ¼ protein (beans, tofu, eggs, fish, chicken)
  • ¼ smart carbs (brown rice, whole pasta, potatoes)

Add a thumb of healthy fats, water, and enjoy without guilt.
