Plate Method
Build meals by visually dividing the plate instead of counting calories: fill most of it with fibrous vegetables or other non-starchy carbs, add a solid protein portion, and keep starchy carbs to the smallest section. This simple proportioning tends to improve fullness and blood-sugar control while making portions easier to manage without tracking.

“I have what I call a plate method... And if you just make a 9:20 on the clock... the largest portion is going to be your fibrous carbohydrates... the next largest portion of that and I devote that towards protein... And then that last portion is where I put my starchy carbohydrates.”
