Meatless Monday

I signed up for an e-mail newsletter a while back for Food Network's Healthy Eats Site. To sign up for the newsletter yourself, you can follow this link. Anyway the newsletter gave me the idea to do Meatless Mondays.

According to MeatlessMonday.com,

Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable
conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can
also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh
water and fossil fuel.

When thinking about going meatless, even for just one day a week, it's important to get your protein in other forms. I usually do this through egg whites, almonds, and greek yogurt. Beens, legumes, other nuts, and seeds also are alternative forms of protein.
