The Plate Method Diet is an approach to eating that uses a dinner plate as a guide for planning a healthy meal.

Week 1 YMCA RD Handout Plate Method 9-6-24.pdf.jpg

Plate Method is a helpful tool for anyone who wants to eat better and learn about variety and portion sizes, including people with prediabetes. Each section of the plate (based on a nine-inch plate) is for the following three food groups: vegetables, grains, and protein. Off to the side is dairy and fruit. These five food groups are the foundation for healthy eating.
