Weekly challenge #2

Well guys it's that time again. For this weeks challenge, you have to:
Eat vegetables with at least 2 meals a day.

Let me tell you why. 
1) vegetables contain a lot of vital nutrients for bodily functions such as iron, various vitamins, and antioxidants. 
2) they contain protein without all the fat content. When you are eating protein from animals (milk and meat primarily) or nuts, there is a high protein content, but also a very high fat content. Percentage wise, we want more protein than fat in our diets. Vegetables are a good way to get this. You can get protein from beans, tofu and spinach. 
3) they have the same nutrients as fruit, but without all the sugar. Fruit is good for you and you need to eat it too, but it is very high in natural sugars. To get the some of the same vitamins, you should consider switching to vegetables.  

Good luck this week my internet friends!
