🍽️ What is Pinggang Pinoy?

The Pinggang Pinoy is a simple guide that shows how to build a balanced and healthy meal using a plate. It was developed by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute under the Department of Science and Technology.

Here’s the easy way to remember it:
🥦 ½ of your plate – Fruits and vegetables
🍚 ¼ of your plate – Go foods (rice, bread, corn for energy)
🍗 ¼ of your plate – Grow foods (fish, eggs, meat, beans for body building)

💧 Drink water and limit foods high in sugar, salt, and fat.

✨ Healthy eating starts with a balanced plate—follow Pinggang Pinoy at every meal!
