6 Healthy Dinner Ideas
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then dinner would be the meal that should be given a lot of thought. With breakfast, even if it is laden with sugar or fat, there is a chance that you would burn them off during the day, but with dinner there is not many ways to burn off all those extra calories. You can’t eat too much but neither can you eat too little as an empty stomach or a half empty stomach will keep you up for most of the night. Dinner should be a healthy balance between quantity and quality, between taste and health as it the one meal that can be had in a relaxed manner if you are working or if you have kids in school. Here are a few ideas to make your dinner tasty and healthy.
1. Have an early dinner
This is the first and the most important fact that you need to know about dinner; it should be had early. A dinner before 7 is the right time, you can stretch it to an hour more, but the earlier you eat, the more time you give your stomach to digest the food and the lesser fat deposits and calories you would be storing up.
2. Avoid red meat for dinner
Red meat takes a long time to get digested and also has a lot of fat in it. It is best to avoid eating it during the night. If you still want to have it, eat it for one night very week, instead of eating it almost every day.
3. Eat Light
You will have more time to eat dinner than the rest of your meals if both of you are working and if your children go to school. Dinners will be long affairs and you will have a tendency to eat more. Eat less and light and talk more. You don’t have to necessarily eat all the time you spend at the table.
