Now go get started.Eating properly portioned, balanced meals: While you were getting in shape, you probably ate larger meals that were probably heavy on the protein. While you'll still want to get plenty of protein, you'll really want to balance that intake with other nutrient sources now. You'll also want to eat smaller meals, to help you make sure that you're getting the right amount of calories for your new activity level. Generally, about ⅓ of your plate should be fruits and vegetables (leaning more heavily to the side of the vegetables, since fruit contains a lot of sugar) and ⅓ of your plate should be grains. The final third should be a mix of protein and low-fat dairy (cottage cheese, eggs, milk, etc). For getting the right amount of food, you'll probably need to do some math and tailor your diet to the number of calories your doctor recommends. However, an easy rule of thumb is to eat from a salad plate (or side plate) instead of a dinner plate and to wait at least 15 minutes before taking any more food.
