Eat Like Me

AOL Health likes this Self magazine Eat Like Me blog. After checking it out, I do too. I like how the blogger details everyday occasions, like working and vacationing, and offers me, the reader, specifics on how healthy meals can easily be incorporated into busy days. Ever stuck on what to bring to the beach for lunch? How about leftover food from the house, like romaine, cucumbers, carrots, red onion, chickpeas and kidney beans? Thrown all together, they make a tasty and nutritious treat.

Need a mid-morning snack? How about yogurt, a toasted bagel, and a peach? Works for this blogger. Might work for you too.

The bonus with this site is that photos are included -- I got to see the actual yogurt, the bagel with raisins, the peach. And all nestled underneath the photo is serving size information. For this snack, it goes like this: This Meal Provides Approximately: Grains = 3 ounces (-whole), Fruit = 0.75 cup, Milk = 0.75 cup, Discretionary Calories = 40 kcals (sweetened yogurt).

I like this blog. Check it out and see if you do too.
