While searching Pinterest I found this healthy eating plate portion guideline from the Harvard School of Public Health. I found it interesting that they say to limit milk/dairy because they are not must have foods. I love yogurt and milk, and so does my son. Do you think I am harming my family for eating those? I know many people drink coconut milk, etc. instead, but I have heard that those things are actually not good for you as well. What are your thoughts on dairy?
My goals for this Week:
- Get in at least 10,000 steps a day.
- Really work at getting at least 100 oz of water a day.
- Increase my vegetable intake.
- Eat breakfast everyday.
What are your goals for this week?!

The only thing I take issue with is “avoid bacon”. :)
My sister-in-law keeps a healthy plate picture on her refrigerator to remind her.
We eat lots of dairy here as well and I have also heard that! I’ve tried cutting back a little, but it’s hard!
Good luck on your goals! I need to get back to my ideal water intake, too – vacation really threw that for a loop :)
I think dairy has its place. Everything in moderation. i keep low fat milk and almond milk in my home.
Great visual for eating! I have one of those portion plates from Nutrisystem and it really helps me. Thanks for sharing.
I need to exercise more.
I thought the new thing was 3 servings of dairy actually help you lose weight…boy things are confusing, lol.
Hmmmm….I’m curious about the milk/dairy recommendation! I’d never heard that before. I worry about that myself. My daughter showed signs of lactose intolerance as a baby, so we put her on soy milk. Now, I’m freaking about that decision and GMOs. I’m so worried about the state of affairs with the food we have available!
I am very lactose intolerant and I drink no milk but I do have soy milk when I eat cereal (so not very often). I can do yogurt and a small amount of cheese with no much issues but everything else is off limits. I cook with milk when I have to but I always regret it.
You’ll never get a straight answer on dairy. Some people are for it, some against it. I think if you like it, use it.
I can live with those recommended plate servings. Veggies are my favorite part of the meal!
I’ve heard that about dairy too, and have tried cutting back as much as possible. I love that plate though, I really need to print something like that for my kids to help them with their meal setup.
Thats a lot of veggies LOL.
