   Tip of the Day
   1. When building a healthy plate, aim to include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to ensure a good mix of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

   2. Incorporate lean proteins like chicken, fish, tofu, or beans to provide essential amino acids and support muscle health.

   3. Choose whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, or whole wheat bread to add fiber and important nutrients to your meal.

   4. Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating, and use smaller plates to help control portion sizes.

   5. Consider the balance of your plate, aiming for roughly half of it to be filled with fruits and vegetables, one-quarter with lean protein, and one-quarter with whole grains to ensure a well-rounded and nutritious meal.
