A member asked:

Anyone know what is a healthy meal plan to lose a little weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simple: First, you want to create a calorie deficit viz. Less calories in than calories consumed. This may take a calculation. In general 1/2 plate should have fruits and vegetables, 1/4 with complex carbs and 1/4 with lean protein. That's the stencil - fill in what you will. No seconds and make it a proper plate size.
