Eating smart doesn't have to be hard. A great trick to stay healthy and protect against diabetes is to look at how you fill your plate:

🥗 Half the plate goes to non-starchy veggies (like broccoli, carrots, and spinach).
🌾 A quarter of the plate is for carbs (like bread or pasta).
🍗 A quarter of the plate is for lean protein (like chicken, fish, eggs, or nuts).
💧 Wash it down with water, and try to use a normal-sized dinner plate. What is your favorite veggie to add to your meals? 👇
