Something about winter makes me crave a giant bowl of macaroni and cheese. Remember back in college? The dorms would have those giant buffets with all you can eat chicken tenders and mashed potatoes covered in cheese? Nom. Unfortunately, much like our sex lives, our metabolisms have really slowed since then. Thus, I thought what better way to start a Wednesday than to give some healthy meal ideas.
I've never been much of a breakfast eater myself, but if I ever want to fit into the size 28 Joe's that I bought this time last year, I'm going to have to start. Try swapping your typical Everything Bagel with Cream cheese and coffee for an Oatmeal with berries (blueberries, strawberries, grapes,etc) with green tea. (Oh and its a LOT cheaper too). 100 calories, warm and gives you energy!In between meals I like to have a Greek yogurt. My favorite? Fage 0% Greek Yogurt (comes with fruit on the side). If the taste isn't much for you, the benefits should be. Having one Greek yogurt a day can help prevent anything from UTI's, yeast infections, bloating and overall it helps to boost your immune system.

For lunch and dinner I like to stick with lean protein, like fish, chicken, or turkey.
Get creative, add any vegetables you like and watch your waist get smaller and your wallet get fatter.
