Keep It Balanced with the Half-Plate Healthy!


Here’s a quick method of controlling your portion sizes that doesn’t require counting calories or measuring foods – the Half-Plate Healthy.  We are adapting this easy visual promoted by Wegmans as part of their Eat Well Live Well™ campaign. Our residence dining halls and on-campus dining shops offer a wide variety of foods, and it may get overwhelming with so many choices!  So be sure to use this simple tool as a way to monitor your food intake without any hassle. It’s easy: fill half your plate with plenty of colorful fruits and veggies and the other half with whatever else you like! Try it out the next time you’re at the dining halls. To keep from over-stuffing yourself at one meal or feeling tempted for seconds, we recommend eating two or three small snacks a day, and as always, drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay well-hydrated and energized!
