WHY SHOULD YOU FILL HALF OF YOUR PLATE WITH VEGETABLES?

Nutritional balance is vital for good health!

Whether it’s weight loss or maintenance, a good method to follow is to fill half of your plate with vegetables, a quarter with protein and a quarter with starchy carbs.

Increasing vegetable portion sizes can decrease your intake of calorie dense foods like pasta, potatoes or rice etc.

Fibrous carbs (vegetables) play a crucial role in maintaining portion sizes.

They take up space on your plate, often leading to psychological satiety.

This satiated feeling is also heightened with the increased fibre intake.
