MyPlate is a great resource based on recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It’s an easy picture to guide you in creating a balanced meal that you can enjoy! A balanced meal includes half of your plate in fruits or veggies, 3 oz of protein, and the rest with focus on whole grains. Take a look at the example below, which includes options for a serving size of each food group! You can find more information and ideas at MyPlate.gov.
