food plate

Use the proportions of foods on the Canada’s food guide plate as a tool to help you make healthy meals or snacks. 

Step 1: Make half your plate vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits should always make up the largest proportion of the foods you eat throughout the day.

Step 2: Make one-quarter of your plate whole grain foods. 

Step 3: Make one-quarter of your plate protein foods. Choose protein foods that come from plants more often.
