Summary
Conclusion
Structured Diet
• Is a calculated diet based on the Food Exchange
List (FEL) used by Dietitians
• Used specifically for meal planning
• “structured” means:
▫ Food list/food groups
▫ Number of exchanges per group
▫ With distributions for the Meals and snacks of
the day
Example of Structured Diet:
• Diet Prescription: 1500 kcal, 245-55-35

Plate Method
• Based on the latest USDA Dietary Guidelines
• Consists of a 9-inch plate
• Plate is divided like pie chart, divided into
portions of important food groups
• Uses different colors or pictures of foods
The Plate Model:
A Visual Method of Teaching Meal Planning
• A simple alternative to the traditional
exchange-based method for teaching meal
planning
• serves as a pie chart to show proportions of
the plate that should be covered by various
food groups

The Plate Method is an Effective Education
Tool for Overweight Adolescents
Objective: To determine if the Plate Method of nutrition education
is an effective approach to teach overweight 10-14 year-old
adolescents (BMI > 95th percentile) in West Virginia to choose
healthier foods
Result: subjects have increased servings of fruits, vegetables, and
whole grains, while servings of soda/sweetened drinks and high
fat/sugar foods have decreased.
Conclusion: Using the Plate Method as a nutrition education tool
is an effective way to help overweight adolescents make healthier food
choices at meal-time(s)

Experimental Biologies
The Healthy Diabetes Plate
• The Healthy Diabetes Plate, which used the plate
format to teach individuals about the type and
amount of foods they should consume at each
meal (by the University of Idaho)
• In 2004, the four-lesson curriculum was taught in
three urban and five rural counties
• Participants were able to correctly plan breakfast,
lunch, and dinner meals and improved their intake
of fruit and vegetables.

How to do it
Step 1
Take an average sized dinner plate and divide it in half.
In one half place non-starchy vegetables such as:
• Spinach, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Romaine lettuce,
Cabbage, Carrots, Tomatoes, Onions, Cucumber,
Beets, Peppers
• About one cup of raw vegetables is considered an
appropriate serving size.
• One cup would be about the size of your fist.
Step 2
Divide the other half of your plate in half again. In
one quarter place your protein source, such as:
▫
▫
▫
▫
▫
▫
3 oz. of lean beef or pork
3 oz. of skinless turkey, chicken or fish
Tofu
Eggs
Cottage cheese
A 3 oz. serving is about the size of a deck of cards
Step 3
In the other quarter of your plate place your
starchy foods such as:
▫ Bread, Potatoes, Corn, Beans, Rice, Tortilla,
Cereals, Oatmeal
▫ Serving sizes range from ½ cup of rice to a baked
potato about the size of your fist.

Population /group specific plate models
In addition to the Plate graphic itself, the new icon is accompanied
by the following nutritional guidelines that offer more information
for healthy eating.
•Enjoy your food, but eat less.
•Avoid oversized portions.
•Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
•Make at least half your grains whole grains.
•Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
•Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread and
frozen meals—and choose the foods with lower
numbers.
•Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
Advantages of Structured Diet
• More accurate calorie counting
• Includes all food groups such as fats/oils, sugar
• Time and meal distribution is indicated
• Indicates number of servings or exchanges per
food group
Advantages of Plate Method
 Enhancement of the connection between dietary theory and
practice
 Promotion of memory retention and understanding through
visual messages
 Experience of a positive approach to nutrition counselling
 Various cuisines and festive foods can be incorporated into the
model
 Offers a meal planning approach that is simple and versatile
 Easier to understand

Diabetes Plate Method offers many invaluable benefits to
the diabetic people:
1. The blood sugar level of a diabetic individual can be managed
under the required level every day since carbohydrates are
distributed evenly.
2. The consumption rate of starches, fat or cholesterol can
easily be maintained.
3. A diabetic individual will be able to get plenty of fiber,
antioxidants, phytochemicals and proteins which forms a
healthy diet.
4. Another notable benefit is the weight loss without extra
effort. As we know, excess body weight minimizes insulin
sensitivity.

In Summary…
Variations among healthy diet plans
• Most healthy diets are built on the same general principles, but there are key differences that reflect
dietary preferences, food availability and cultural eating patterns.
• For example, the Latin American Diet Pyramid might mention tortillas and cornmeal, whereas the
Asian Diet Pyramid might include noodles and rice.
Other differences include:
1. Food groups
• The food groups among healthy-diet plans vary in some ways. For example, some versions have
plant-based proteins — soybeans, beans and nuts — in a separate group from animal proteins
found in meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. This is because animal proteins are often higher in
fat and cholesterol, and some diets limit or exclude animal proteins.
2. Serving recommendations
• Healthy-eating plans also vary in the recommended servings of each food group. The Mayo Clinic
Healthy Weight Pyramid, for example, recommends a daily number of servings from each food
group. Other plans offer more-general guidelines, such as eating particular foods at every meal, or
on a weekly or monthly basis. Or that the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid recommends that you eat
whole grains, vegetables and fruits at every meal.
The plate method has been used for diabetes
meal planning. It also works well for weight loss,
teaching good nutrition and in improving blood
glucose and lipids.
Benefits
•Weight loss
•Improved carbohydrate distribution
•More nutritionally sound diet
•Increase intake of fibers
•Decrease fat and cholesterol intake
Try the Plate method for:
•People with busy lifestyle
•Seniors
•Feeling overwhelmed because of a recent
diagnosis or psychological circumstances
•Cognitive difficulties / Low literacy level
•For those with difficulties in using a more
structured approach
•Type 2 diabetes and needs to loose weight
Conclusion:
Whatever tool or principle you as a health professional will use, always
remember the Basic principles of a healthy diet:
•
That the diet is appropriate to the needs and condition of the individual .
•
Symbols/ tools (computed diets, pyramid & the plate) are educational tools to help us
visualize and understand the diet better, these tools illustrate how the pieces of a healthy
diet fit together.
•
Definitely, no single food provides all of the nutrients that your body needs, so the idea is
to eat a variety of foods from each group in the proper proportions to get all the necessary
nutrients and other substances that promote good health.
•
Lastly , a healthy-diet plan/regimen should emphasize the following:
1. Eat more plant foods, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
2. Choose lean protein from a variety of sources.
3. Limit sweets and salt.
4. Control portion sizes.
5. Be physically active.
Putting the pyramid, the computed diet or the plate — to work for you
Know the specific needs of the individuals that needs to be addressed.
To see how your eating habits match up to these healthy-diet plans, keep a food diary
for several days. Then compare how much of your diet comes from the various
groups.
To eat healthier, start with gradual changes, such as eating more vegetables, fruits
and whole grains, and limiting fats and sweets.
• Choose a variety of foods
• This ensures that you get all of the calories, protein, vitamins, minerals
and fiber you need.
• Choosing a wide range of foods also helps make your meals and snacks
more interesting.
• Adapt the plan to your preferences

• Combine foods any way you like but in the right amount
