Your meals should be tasty and nourishing. They should offer a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fats and a variety of food groups. Your overall diet should help you achieve your individualized blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow the Plate Method Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using the Healthy Diabetes Plate, you have built in portion control! No calorie counting and no food scales. And by choosing wholesome foods for each of the designated sections, you’ll create a health-boosting meal with appropriate amounts of carbohydrate, fat and protein. Though the plate method is suitable for most people, it’s smart to check in with your healthcare provider, registered dietitian nutritionist or certified diabetes educator for personalized advice. If the plate method is right for you, follow these 7 steps to build a diabetes-friendly meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark \u003cstrong\u003eone-half\u003c\/strong\u003e of your plate for non-starchy vegetables.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivide the \u003cstrong\u003eother half of the plate into two equal parts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Mark one section for protein-rich foods and one section for starchy foods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect your \u003cstrong\u003eprotein\u003c\/strong\u003e-rich foods. Your choices are nearly limitless and include fish, shellfish, beef, pork, lamb, poultry, cottage cheese, eggs, tofu, black beans and lentils. For the sake of your heart, make lean choices most often. For example, skip the sausage and hot dogs, trim the fat from beef and discard poultry skin. Don’t worry that tofu, beans and lentils have carbohydrate in them. They are loaded with fiber and other health-shielding nutrients and can play an important role in a diabetes meal plan. If necessary, you can trim the portion of your starchy food in the next section.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace a \u003cstrong\u003estarchy vegetable or a grain\u003c\/strong\u003e in the other small section. Some choices include white, red, purple and sweet potatoes, lima beans, corn, grits, pasta, wheat berries, farro, quinoa, rice and barley. It’s smart to opt for whole grains over refined grains most of the time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill half your plate with nonstarchy \u003cstrong\u003evegetables\u003c\/strong\u003e. Choose one, two or as many vegetables as you’d like. Eat salads or cooked vegetables or both. A few options include broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, eggplant, fennel, kale, lettuce, radish, spinach, tomatoes and zucchini. These foods are so low in calories and carbohydrates that you can double your serving if you’re still hungry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound out your meal with a glass of lowfat \u003cstrong\u003emilk\u003c\/strong\u003e or a piece of fruit or both, depending on your individualized carbohydrate allowances and blood sugar goals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTry out the plate method of diabetes meal planning.
