If you have followed my page and advice for any length of time, you will know that I LOVE the portion plate guidelines. They are so simple, realistic, effective and easy.
Recently I did a Facebook Live video lesson on the topic. You can view it below. I kept it super simple and actionable.
5 Reasons why I love the portion plate guidelines
—
1 . Contains all 3 macronutrients
Each one has a different “job” to do in our body. Protein for muscle and cell maintenance. Carbs for energy. Healthy fats for vitamin absorption.

2. Flexible.
