Square up your meal
I loved the idea of dividing your plate into quarters and halves and filling it appropriately. That made it so easy for even the youngest member of the family to 'see' serving sizes. We have some oriental-themed square plates that we use, which also makes it easier to portion food. (For some reason the round edges made it harder).
Now all I need are square plates with raised dividers to make haves and quarters on the plate. My husband ha d good point though- it probably matters how HIGH you stack teh 1/4 of the plate!

This is such a great strategy, I use it with my clients too...it's important to keep it simple. Even if you go a bit overboard, it's mostly veggies so no harm done! You can actually buy plates with dividers on the web...but they don't have a height restriction :)

I have been using this strategy for quite a while using 1/4 for protein, 1/4 for starch and 1/2 for vegetables. This has worked well for me. Remember only one serving and your husband is right, it does matter how high you stack the plate :)
