Then you just have to choose and I teach you how to choose healthy fats, good protein, good carbohydrates .”
Don’t forget to consume micronutrients, namely nutrients needed by the body in small but important quantities. If you don’t get micronutrient intake, your body’s functions won’t be able to run better. Micronutrients usually take the form of vitamins and minerals which are found in many fruits, vegetables and nuts.
After determining the composition, you can mix the meal portions according to the guidelines from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes). One plate can be filled one third with carbohydrates, side dishes, vegetables and fruit.
But Dr. Diana revealed that this portion can change according to a person’s goals and body condition. If you are obese, the guideline changes to a T plate where half the plate is filled with vegetables, while a quarter of the plate is carbohydrates and the other half is protein, which can be animal or vegetable.
