Veg Diet Myth of the Day:


I don't have time for this.
 
BUSTED. Even the most time-strapped working parents, full-time grad students, and overextended social butterflies can take 10 minutes to boil up a batch of noodles, stick them in a Tupperware container, and yank out a handful for a quick pasta-marinara lunch. Tried-and-true time-saving techniques are the busy-bee's best friend, so take an hour to whip up a big pot of spaghetti sauce and freeze it in small portions for microwaving later. Ditto for grains like rice and quinoa. Still don't have the time? Take a tip from the pros and get acquainted with your can opener. "I'm a working mother with two small children," says Tara Gidus, RD, NS. "Vegetarian meal preparation is no more laborious or time-consuming that meals containing meat. I use canned beans that can be ready in seconds, and prepared convenience soy-based foods like frozen veggie burgers, veggie sausage, or veggie pepperoni."
