Because dietary needs vary by age, s*x, and physical activity, the 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙮 was developed to help the public make informed food choices.
𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙮 is a simple, visual, and practical guide that shows how to build a balanced meal at a glance, using accessible and affordable foods. It promotes proper portions and food variety through the following plate proportions:
🥦 One-half vegetables and fruits
🍚 One-third rice or other carbohydrate sources
🐟 One-sixth protein-rich foods
🥛 Water on the side
By translating nutrition advice into what we see on our plate, 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙮 makes healthy eating easy to understand and apply in daily life—at home, work, or school.
Following this balanced meal pattern helps support:
✔️ Sustained energy and productivity
✔️ Strong immunity
✔️ Healthy growth and weight management
✔️ Lower risk of diet-related diseases
Simple, flexible, evidence-based, and culturally relevant—𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙮 is healthy eating, the Filipino way. Practice it at every meal, every day.
