Health Plate
Nutrition Experts of Harvard School of Public Health have created a healthy eating plate, with detailed and simple guidance:
The main aim of the Healthy Eating Plate is to focus on diet quality:
- The plate focuses on the type of the carbohydrates more than the amount of the carbohydrates because some sources of carbohydrate—like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans—are healthier than others.
- The Plate also recommends avoiding sugary beverages, a major source of calories—usually with little nutritional value—in the American diet.
- The Healthy Eating Plate encourages consumers to use healthy oils, with no maximum calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat.
