I found this via
Harvard School of Public Health's website. This example that you see, has pretty much been my rule of thumb when eating/cooking. You want to make sure that your body is getting the right amount of nutrients that it needs from the food groups.

taying active, limiting sugar and increasing whole grains are 3 areas in which I struggle. It is definitely a work in progress and not something that I have been able to achieve over night. I am happy to say though, that I am consistently drinking water and with the addition of green smoothies, I enjoy eating almost all types of vegetables - especially the leafy green ones!
What do you think? How achievable is this "Healthy Eating Plate" to you?
