Happy Friday and welcome to the start of summer! Many parts of the country are experiencing a heatwave right now, and you may be wondering what the soaring temperature does to your body. Our nutrition editor and dietitian breaks down whether or not you actually burn more calories in heat. We are also sharing a quick 20-minute treadmill workout, in case it's too hot to get outside today. And finish up the week with a big batch of easy egg bites. |

Today's workout is a walk. Treadmill training doesn't have to be stagnant or boring! When inclement weather forces you indoors, take full advantage of the treadmill's capabilities by alternating pace and incline throughout your workout. The different intervals not only keep the workout interesting, but also keep your body guessing. During the low-intensity intervals your body recovers, allowing yourself to prepare for the next high-intensity interval. Try the 20-minute interval training workout. |

If you have time, making a double batch of these simple egg cups is ideal for a quick protein-packed breakfast or snack when you're on-the-go. Serve some for breakfast and freeze the rest for busy mornings. You can easily reheat them by popping them in the microwave. They're a great way to start the day with a healthy and filling meal, especially if you're always in a hurry. Plus, kids will eat them up (literally), thanks to their fun size and colorful fillings. Breakfast: Easy Egg Bite Muffins with Fruit Lunch: Leftovers Dinner: No-Sugar Ginger Beef and Broccoli with Rice |
