LIVING WELL WITH DIABETES
Serving Size GuideKeep your serving sizes in check! Use the healthy plate method to balance your plate (fill ½ of a 9-inch plate with vegetables, ¼ with whole grains/starches, ¼ with protein, and add dairy and/or fruit on the side). For women, aim for 2 to 3 servings of carbohydrate per meal if your goal is to lose weight and 3 to 4 servings if your goal is to maintain weight. For men, aim for 3 to 4 servings of carbohydrate per meal if your goal is to lose weight and 4 to 5 servings if your goal is to maintain weight.
