Proportion Your Meals Correctly

Figuring out how to eat healthy can be overwhelming at times, especially when there's a constant stream of fad diets creeping into your Insta feed. But Christy L. Alexon, PhD, RD, tells POPSUGAR that eating right isn't that hard when you think about it as a game of proportions: "If you divide your plate into fourths, half your plate should be fruits and veggies — mostly nonstarchy veggies — one quarter should be lean protein, and one quarter can be a healthy carb source." By filling up on what your body likes (nutrient-rich veggies and energy-filled lean protein), you'll be less tempted by unhealthy combinations.
