The Mediterranean Diet made headlines recently; a study by the New England Journal of Medicine claims that this way of eating may help reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. The Mediterranean diet encourages replacing high-fat meats with fish and plant proteins like nuts and legumes. Whole grains, olive oil, fruits and vegetables, using herbs and spices in lieu of salt to flavor recipes, the elimination of processed foods, plus plenty of exercise are also called for. Thai food is full of flavor, but you don’t need a pantry full of exotic ingredients to prepare it. From simple sides to upscale mains dishes, here’s how to get more of this tasty and budget-friendly protein into your diet.

Unfortunately, comfort foods are notorious diet derailers: high in calories and saturated fat. Canned foods do get a bad rap for being super salty, but rinsing and draining canned beans can remove up to 40 percent of the sodium.

But don’t despair: we’ve lightened your favorite recipes so they can fit within your calorie goals, while keeping the traditional flavors intact.
