NOTE: Notice how dinner is portioned in the picture above. It follows something called the American Plate Theory, a portion control method I teach to my clients (and endorsed by the American Dietetic Association). One half of the plate is filled with vegetables, one quarter with grains and one quarter with protein (and a bowl of fruit to the side if desired). In the picture above I have my protein on top of my grains so I filled the extra space with fruit. The plate also follows the Eating the Rainbow program by including a wide variety of colors (and therefore a wide variety of nutrients). See http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
