Marianne's PLATE is great for people who like to follow a physical guide when dishing up their meal plates, as opposed to just imagining what proportions you should be aiming for. Even dishes such as lasagne, spaghetti-Bolognese or a stir-fry can work with the plate by simply using half the plate for salad and the other half for the carb and protein mix (e.g. pasta & mince).

Marianne's PLATE is split into 3 sections:

½ of the plate salad or vegetables:
Fresh is best! Add colour and variation to your plate.
¼ of the plate poultry, meat or fish:
Lean meats are better, trim visible fat and remove skin from poultry. Aim for two portions of fish per week, one of which should be oily.
¼ of the plate pasta, rice or potatoes:
When using Marianne's PLATE remember bread will count as one of your carbohydrates not in addition to these and aim for whole grains as a healthier choice. It’s best to grill, bake, microwave, stir fry, steam or poach foods. Use fats and oils sparingly.
