Healthy meals start with proper portion sizes • You're interested in having healthy meals at home and when you eat out. But do you have a good idea of portion sizes? How can you reset your expectations about healthy meals and proper portion sizes? This guide will show you.
Typicalrestaurant-style steak dinner • Look familiar? This typical restaurant-style meal offers only two food groups — meat and starch — in oversize portions. It adds up to around 1,500 calories.
A better steak dinner • Here's a steak dinner that offers more variety and more appropriate portions.The steak takes up only a fourth of the plate, same with the brown rice. The rest of the plate is filled with vegetables. Fruit, salad and skim milk round out the meal. And it's all under 500 calories.
Downsizing starts at the plate • As you see, half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables. Good choices include spinach, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumbers. Grains fill another section. Protein completes the plate. There are chicken or turkey without the skin; fish and other seafood; and lean cuts of beef and pork. Round out your meal with an 8-ounce glass of nonfat milk.
Lunching large • How does this lunch of an oversize burrito and sides stack up? It's obvious at a glance that it's short on fruits and vegetables and high in fat. What may not be obvious is that this lunch is over 1,000 calories — enough for two people.
Lunch done right • This regular-size burrito made with grilled chicken, fresh veggies and a whole-wheat tortilla is a healthier way to indulge your taste for spicy fare. Fresh salsa and avocado slices replace the guacamole and sour cream and up the veggie count. A more reasonable 530 calories.
Typical breakfast • Many people's idea of a traditional breakfast is eggs, sausage and white toast, which leaves little room for fruits, vegetables or whole grains. It can also add up to a lot of calories — the version shown here is 785 calories.
Remakingbreakfast • This breakfast is not only lower in calories (429), it's also a great illustration of the plate method — half of the plate is fruit, one fourth is protein and the remaining fourth is whole grain.
