I am trying to be a lot more "weight conscious" so have decided that it really isn't necessary to eat meat with every meal every day - so because it's summer and I don't have a garden - I like to make a meal of fresh fruits I prepare myself with little effort that I love! Tonight it is skewed fresh banana, fresh white seedless grapes and fresh strawberries!

Be carefull with cutting all meat out of your diet. Make sure that you and your family are taking a multi-vitamin. Remember to make sure that you are getting enough iron in your diet, not just what comes in the vitamin. I found out the hard way when my doctor told me that I was perilously close to needing a blood transfusion due to the fact that the iron content in my blood was so low.
You must have some protein daily & it doesn't have to be meat. You can decide from a selection of different kinds of beans, peanut butter, eggs, fish, cheese or poultry. Your body needs protein as it is the building blocks of your body. Go on the web to google to find inexpensive menus using the selection that I told you about. I recently lost 22 lbs & my hubby lost 27 lbs. We starting eating more healthy & used portion control like have a 4 oz. steak one day & the next day have a 4 oz. boneless skinless chix breast. Have a green salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cukes & some beans like chickpeas or red kidney beans & use olive oil & vinegar for the dressing but be sure to measure it.
You don't need meat to be healthy! Read Dr. John McDougall's website/books. The proof is in the pudding!
Your body can only absorb a limited amount of protein at a time. So don't try to get it all during 1 meal. Has to be spaced out.
