All modern nutritionists agree that an evening meal should in no way overload the stomach, but it should not be left empty all night either. For dinner, it is better to eat light and well-digestible food.
A delicious and varied dinner is a guarantee of health
Evening time is that part of the day that you want to leave for personal household chores, communication with loved ones, friends or family. Long-term self-cooking at night usually does not fit into these plans. Therefore, ways to quickly prepare a light dinner certainly deserve attention.
First of all, it should be noted that you need to eat at least 3 hours before bedtime. This is the time it takes for the body to digest everything. In this regard, there is a widespread point of view that protein food should form the basis of the evening diet. The reason for this opinion is that the body needs an additional 4 grams of water to absorb a gram of carbohydrate. Proteins do not need such a proportion, and excess water is simply excreted from the body. This, incidentally, is one of the reasons why a protein diet is accompanied by a weight loss effect. However, protein-heavy dinners can still lead to breakdowns. By evening, a person spends a significant amount of energy. Its supply needs to be replenished. This is the reason for the desire to eat something sweet and the evening appetite that remains unsatisfied even after a piece of meat. The body also needs glucose, i.e. It is important to balance carbohydrates, proteins and fats at every meal.
What to cook for dinner
Try to include the liver in your diet. This is a great food rich in vitamins A and D. Take 200 g of chicken liver, cut and cook for 5 minutes. Drain, add spices, a tablespoon of flour and fry in olive oil. Cut 150 g of champignons. Add them to the liver, drizzle with a little cream and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and leave to sweat a little. Serve in a few minutes. Don't forget to garnish with herbs. After dinner, warm up with tea with milk and honey.
When thinking about a menu for dinner, it's hard not to think about chicken. Cut 150 g of chicken fillet into pieces, pour a glass of boiling water and simmer in a skillet over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Add 150 g of diced apples and bring to a boil. Pour a tablespoon of flour with 100 g of milk, stir thoroughly so that there are no lumps, pour into the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with boiled buckwheat. For drinks, a cup of tea with lemon is suitable.
An excellent dinner menu option can also be an omelet, low-fat fish, yogurt or kefir, a little cheese and cottage cheese. If you really want something sweet, make baked apples. This tasty and healthy dish can be varied to suit every taste: bake with ground nuts, add honey, sprinkle with cinnamon or stuffed with dried apricots.
