Daily Balanced Plate

A no-math way to structure meals using the plate method as the anchor. Fill half the plate with vegetables and fruit, add a quarter protein and a quarter whole grains, and round it out with water. It nudges portions and food quality in the right direction while leaving room for personal taste.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
