A balanced plate should prioritize fiber-rich carbohydrates (green vegetables) as the largest portion, followed by protein.

“The largest portion is going to be your fibers carbohydrate. So that's the green vegetables, right? So whether it be broccoli or Brussels sprouts, or asparagus, or pick your favorites. Like those are the ones that give us a lot of the micronutrients we need, they're the ones that are generally accepted as more healthy and they're also going to provide the fiber that's going to be both beneficial in terms of its impact on insulin and also just through filling you up, right? And then I take the next largest portion of that and I devote that towards protein.”
