Half vegetables and fruit. One quarter protein (dal, eggs, paneer, meat). One quarter grains (rice, roti, bread). One look at your plate tells you if a meal is balanced. No calorie counting. No app. The plate is the tool.
- The method was developed by nutrition researchers at Harvard. It works across all cuisines.
- Try it at your next meal. Fill the plate in the right proportions. It takes five seconds.
