What’s On Your Plate?

Your plate tells a story every day. Fill it with colorful veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and joyful flavors that energize your body and delight your taste buds. Make every meal a chance to feel good, stay strong, and love what you eat.

Use MyPlate

MyPlate helps you build healthy meals every day. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables for vitamins and fiber. Make at least one quarter whole grains like brown rice or oats for steady energy. The other quarter should have lean protein such as chicken, fish, beans or tofu to support muscles. Add a small serving of low fat dairy or fortified soy milk on the side for calcium and vitamin D. Choose water over sugary drinks. Balance portions, eat colorful foods and enjoy meals with family. Small changes using MyPlate lead to better health over time.

Stuck in a Rut?

Stuck in a rut? Shake things up with small changes. Try a new route, fresh hobby, different meal, or short walk. Tiny shifts spark energy and break the cycle fast.

How Must Is Just Right?

Listen to your body and your hunger cues. It takes around 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full. Here are a few tricks to help you eat less but still feel full.

Stop eating when you no longer feel hungry but BEFORE you feel full.

You don’t have to eat everything on your plate. Save leftovers for later.

Use a smaller plate or bowl so you feel like you are getting more food with a full dish.

Watch portions when you eat out. Order a smaller size or share a large dish.

If you tend to overeat, try to find out when and why. Are you stressed or upset?

Try going for a walk or drinking water instead of snacking.

Make your snacks a healthier choice, like fruit.
