Have a Veggie Omelet for Breakfast
If you have the time for a veggie omelet, this can be a great way to get more veggies in your diet. Egg substitutes can provide valuable protein without the fat and cholesterol. Just add some whole wheat toast for a well-rounded start to your day! Or try our Healthy Bites Recipe of the Week.
Serve Beans & Rice as a Main Course
This vegetarian combination forms a complementary protein source that provides all the essential amino acids. Another example is black beans and corn salsa. These and other combos are packed with nutrition yet are virtually fat-free-when prepared properly!
In addition to protein, beans also provide complex carbohydrates, fiber and folate.
Write it down
When setting goals, many experts recommend keeping written records to track progress. So whether you’re trying to make dietary changes, increase physical activity or manage stress, write down your goals and log every detail you can. This will also help to keep you on track with your New Year’s resolutions.
