MY HEALTHY PLATE

Let's stay healthy by starting with what we eat!
My Healthy Plate
What is My Healthy Plate?
My Healthy Plate is a friendly visual tool designed for Singaporeans by the Health Promotion Board (HPB). It is developed with the latest science-based recommendations on healthy eating habits and aims to provide an easy-to-understand visual representation of a balanced and healthy diet.
This tool can be used to help you remember and practise healthy habits that aid with weight control and protect against chronic diseases (such as Diabetes), which is a major health issue in Singapore.
Note: Individuals with specific dietary requirements or existing medical conditions are advised to check with their healthcare providers on whether My Healthy Plate meets their dietary requirements.
My Healthy Plate's key eating habits are:
Fill half your plate with Fruit & Vegetables
Fill a quarter of your plate with Whole-grains
Fill a quarter of your plate with Meat & Others
It should also be complemented with the following:
Use healthier oils
Choose water
