Special plate arrives!
I blogged earlier about using a child’s divided plate, which offers two benefits:
The compartments show proportions of vegetables, protein, and carbs (whole wheat pasta, cooked whole grains, etc.): 1/2 the plate for veggies, 1/4 for protein, 1/4 for carbs.
The use of a child’s plate means the portion sizes are about right for an adult.
This is the plate that I got, which unfortunately is now out of stock. But they still have this one. Give it a go.
Oddly, the plates are not the shape pictured. Instead, they are wider than they are tall. But the compartments are still correct: 1/2, 1/4, 1/4.

I don’t know which is funnier, you with your kiddy plate, or The Aunt with her sippy-cup.
