What your dinner plate should look like

Canada’s Food Guide recommends that you eat a variety of healthy foods each day. This includes:

• plenty of vegetables and fruit

Canada’s Food Guide is a handy tool that helps you make healthy choices and eat well.

Fill half your plate with vegetables and fruit, a quarter with whole grain foods and a quarter with protein foods.
