Dinner Meal Plan

So we have already decided what foods are good for you in the morning for breakfast and in the afternoon for lunch. Now the question is what do I eat for dinner?

Since your lunch is usually smaller when choosing to eat a salad or a sandwich, maybe add some meat to your evening meal. You don’t want to fill yourself at night so don’t completely pig out. Here are some dinner ideas that are easy to make and healthy and nutritious.

Personally my favourite meal for dinner is grilled chicken with rice or grilled chicken with vegetables.  If you don’t like chicken another great option is salmon and if you’re a vegetarian maybe you will prefer tofu. Stay away from frying your meat and bake it or grill it, which ever you prefer.  Fried food is so much heavier and in order to stay away from the greasy, sticky foods, you want cook your foods in a way that will make you feel like what you ate tasted good, but at the same time still healthy. I like to have chicken or salmon with some green beans, or broccoli. Whatever vegetables you like will taste good with your meat. Any meat is good really; it’s just a matter of watching how much you put in your mouth.

Another great dish for dinner, if you like pasta can be low in calorie whole wheat pasta. When you eat pasta try to have small portions though because it will fill you up very easy and remember you can’t completely cut carbs and breads out of your diet so just be careful with the portions you intake. If you don’t like pasta and prefer rice, just make sure that the portions are also not very big.

If you decide or prefer to have a heavier lunch, then for dinner why not have a salad. You can have a bigger salad with some meat added to it and some vegetables.  Now here is a great delicious, but nutritious meal!

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all important meals of the day and none of them can be missed. So if you feel like you’re eating too much during one meal, for the next meal eat something a bit smaller.

You want to make sure that you’re eating all of the foods you are suppose to be eating but watch the portions and make sure you feel good about what you’re eating and know that what you put in your mouth is healthy, tasty, and nutritious.
