Intuitive Eating Plate + Worksheet

What is an Intuitive Eating Plate?

While there is no “official” intuitive eating plate, it can be helpful to visualize one when you are working on improving your relationship with food. This is one version of an intuitive eating plate, and it can be helpful to start here before moving on to other common plate models, such as the USDA My Plate or the Canadian Food Guide. 

Who may benefit from this guide?

• An intuitive eating plate is a helpful tool for anyone working on their relationship with food.
• Clients in all stages of the intuitive eating journey–whether they have been working on ditching diets, restrictive eating, or feelings of guilt around food for a while, or are new to intuitive eating.
• This is a great way to introduce gentle nutrition before getting into other, more standard plate guides or eating recommendations.

How Should I Use the Intuitive Eating Plate?

• Share this tool with clients in sessions or give it as a printout to hang in their kitchen or elsewhere.

What is the Worksheet?

• This free download includes a worksheet called “My Intuitive Eating Plate.” This blank plate with prompts allows clients to brainstorm what their intuitive eating plate looks like. It could be used during a session or as an activity between sessions.
