Plate Method
➤ A way to address mindless eating using visual dietary guidance
systems.
➤ My Plate serves as a visual guide illustrating the ideal composition
of a balanced meal (see My Plate Meal figure).
➤ The half-plate rule advises individuals to fill half of their plates with
vegetables, fruits, or salad when making dietary decisions, such as
selecting menu items or serving portions. Conversely, the remaining
portion should reflect a reasonable balance of other elements.
