Hi Jeff,
I have a question about the percents in the healthy eating placemat. It states that you start with a soup/salad and finish with fruit. In the middle is a 50/50 plate with fruits/veggies on one side and tubers/starchy veg/whole grains/legumes on the other.
Are the soup/salad veggies and dessert fruits part of the 50/50 plate, or are they in addition to the 50/50 plate? If they are part of the 50/50 plate, then the entire meal ratio is 50/50. If they are in addition to the 50/50 plate, then the ratio becomes something like 75% (fruits, veggies) and 25% (grains, legumes, tubers, starchy veggies) for the entire meal.
I tend to overdo the tubers/starchy veg/whole grains and would like to be on the healthy path. Thanks!
