Everything in moderation: You've heard the motto before, but how often do you still pile your plate sky-high? Take the guesswork out of portioned eating with the Slim & Sage plate. The easy-to-understand design makes it easy to eat sensibly without feeling like you're depriving yourself. The 9-inch porcelain plate is simply designed: one-fourth of the plate for lean protein, one-fourth of the plate for whole grains and one-half of the plate for vegetables. Plus, the discreet design is perfect for both casual eating and everyday entertaining.
