Healthy Plate Portion Calculator

The Healthy Eating Plate model is a visual guide to help you create balanced meals. It's not a rigid plan, but a simple framework for healthy eating.

The Main Food Groups:

• Vegetables (approx. 50% of the plate): Aim for a colorful variety. Potatoes are not counted as vegetables in this model due to their impact on blood sugar.
• Protein (approx. 25% of the plate): Choose fish, poultry, beans, and nuts. Limit red meat and avoid processed meats.
• Whole Grains (approx. 25% of the plate): Eat whole and intact grains like whole wheat, barley, quinoa, and oats. Limit refined grains like white bread and white rice.

This calculator divides your target meal calories according to this model to help you visualize your portions.
