Healthy Eating Rule No 2

2. Correct Food Portioning – How Much Should You Be Eating?:


A very simple way to estimate your nutrient ratios is to follow the 3-2-1 rule.
Here's how it works: Imagine your plate divided into six sections like slices of
a pie. Fill up three slices (3/6 or 50%) with natural carbohydrates like
potatoes, yams, oatmeal, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Fill up two
sections (2/6 or 33%) with lean proteins like egg whites, chicken or fish.
Finish with one section of healthy fats (1/6 or 17%). This simple method puts
you very close to the optimal ratios for baseline healthy eating.
