Healthy Eating

During whole morning we have access to bunch of healthy options that give us energy without giving us calorie surplus. But, as day is coming to it's end, number of healthy options is apparently shrinking. What should we eat in the evening that won't instantly get stuck to our "critical side belly zones" when we want to chill on the sofa in front of the TV? Everybody needs to know that dinner should be the smallest meal of the day. Only when your schedule was that tight that you didn't get time to eat right, you can and should give yourself some credit and have a bigger dinner meal. Here are some healthy ideas:

Salad


Make yourself healthy salad. As base of the salad you can use spinach,
rucola, lettuce. Then add tomato, cucumber, paprika, onion or some other
vegetables. You can add some cheese, nuts, or seeds. As dressing, you
can use olive oil and lemon juice.

Eggs

Fact is - human body digests veggies easier in the morning, and protein
in the evening. Egg whites are almost pure protein. Boil few eggs or
scramble them with vegetables ( paprika, onion etc...)

Chicken or fish

You can eat chicken and fish with boiled or fresh vegetables. You should
avoid dressings and salty seasonings. That way body will absorb the
best and most useful nutrients.

Yogurt with berries or avocado

This shouldn't be fruit yogurt that you buy in the store that has already
been made, but actual yogurt with small percentage of fat, and berries
such as blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry. or avocado.
Avocado is good because it doesn't have that much carbs, but is rich
in C, E, Band 136 vitamins which all mostly absorb in the afternoon.
Also rich in lutein, beta- caroten, and omega - 3 fat acids. Don't mix
with bananas, since bananas are caloric.

Pasta

The thing that adds calories to pasta are cheese and cheese dressings.
In order for your pasta to be healthy, you should use whole grain pasta,
that you will mix with olive oil, tuna, olives, or even little bit of corn.


Dinner meal plans may vary from person to person. Age, sex, weight,
physical activity and genetics all influence basal metabolic rate. For
example: youth football player needs 3500 calories to get him through
the day with practices, school, and everything, while an average person
with sedentary job needs 1800 - 2200 calories a day. Important take
home note is that, while the day is coming to its end, the body starts
turning off as well That's why evening is more appropriate for gentle
foods full with protein and fiber, since everything starts to slow down,
and digestive system works slower. Mornings are for carbs and greater
calorie intakes so a person can start their day with energy that will get
him through the lunch time. Recipe for healthy dinner food is simply
toning it down with calories. Fruit, vegetables, lean meat, water,
orange juice and not dressings, soda, fried and artificial food.
