My Food Plate vs Deb's Food Plate

What do you think about the new compaign?

I do think they are getting it more right, but the grain portion is still too large, seperating fruit and veggies was good, but we don't need three servings of fruit per day, and it would be better if we would consider the fruit portion for dessert, so we could stop thinking we need that little something of sugar after we eat.

Okay my take is:

1/2 of your plate veggies, preferably green veggies, low calorie veggies ect. It doesn't have to be the same, mix it up. A cup of salad and aspargus. Coleslaw and a serving of green beans. Remember that corn, beets, peas are starchy so eat them less often, or smaller portions. But still eat them if you like them.
Potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes yes are starchy also, but use them in place of grains, they have plenty of nutrition in them.
3-5 oz of protein.
1/2 cup of rice, 1 piece of bread or 1 cup of cooked pasta.

Eat an apple or pear for mid afternoon snack and add a yogurt with berries for evening desert.

Remember fat is good for you, just eat the right amount. And always add fat to you grains and your veggies, you don't assimilate the nutrients with out it.

But that salad doesn't need 1/2 cup of dressing, a couple teaspoons of flavorful dressing with surfice, and if that dressing is made with franken oils it is not helping you but depriving you of getting the nutrients.

If you don't get the nutrients you need you will have cravings and you will overeat.

Get your body back on track, help it acheive it's best ever.
