You’ve made it to Day 6 of the Balanced Plate Challenge — and today’s the big moment. We’re putting everything together: veggies, protein, and whole grains, all living happily on one plate. Think of it as the Avengers assembling… but with broccoli, chicken, and quinoa.
🍽️ Why This Matters
-
Habit building: You’ve learned the pieces — now it’s time to practice the full method.
-
Visual learning: Seeing the balance on your plate helps you remember it for future meals.
-
Confidence boost: Once you’ve done it once, you’ll know you can do it again (and again).
🥦 Your Day 6 Task
At your next meal, create a fully balanced plate using the formula:
-
½ plate veggies/fruits 🥦🍓
-
¼ plate lean protein 🍗🥚
-
¼ plate whole grains/starches 🍞🍚
Example:
-
Grilled chicken breast 🍗
-
Steamed broccoli and roasted carrots 🥦🥕
-
Brown rice 🌾
Snap a photo of your masterpiece and share it with #BalancedPlateChallenge. Bonus points if your plate looks Instagram‑worthy. 🌈
😂 A Little Humour
If your plate ends up looking like a veggie explosion with a lonely piece of chicken hiding in the corner, don’t worry — that’s still progress. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is your perfect plate.
