7 meatless meal ideas
Have you hopped on the meatless meals bandwagon? Here's why you should. Built around vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, eggs and grains, meatless meals offer many nutrients, including protein.

So instead of focusing on meat as the center of your meal, think about the colorful and satisfying meals you can create with vegetables and whole grains. Use these ideas to get started.

Today's Healthy-Eating Tip
Lose weight with mindful eating
Mindfulness pulls you out of your habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. Mindful eating allows you to notice each bite or sip you take. It helps focus your senses on exploring, savoring and tasting your food. It puts you in touch with your eating triggers and helps you become more conscious of what and how much you eat and drink.
