It mainly includes poultry meat - turkey or chicken, as they contain a huge amount of protein, nutrients and a minimum of fat. Rabbit meat is also included in dietary meat, again because of the high content of protein, phosphorus, iron and calcium. The ideal option would be to cook the above types of meat for a couple or in the oven without salt and oil. And to make dinner more varied, prepare a vegetable salad for meat, it's tasty and healthy.
When choosing fish for dinner, carefully study not only the calorie content, but also the energy value of the product. It is best to pay attention to cod, flounder, pollock. They have the highest protein content, the least fat, and their prices do not bite. For a side dish, it is best to use vegetables, a small amount of buckwheat or rice is also suitable.
Vegetables are the perfect option for an evening snack. Choose broccoli, cabbage, green beans, asparagus. You can cook both steamed and in the oven, with a minimum amount of salt and oil. And to make the vegetables tastier, just add some Provence herbs.
The egg contains easily digestible protein, so it can be consumed both for breakfast and dinner, and there will be no harm to anyone. You can cook a poached egg and add some vegetables, cut an avocado. You can simply make an omelet quickly by adding a little chopped tomato, broccoli and herbs. It all depends on your imagination. The main thing is a minimum of salt and oil.
Berries are low in calories, rich in healthy antioxidants and fiber. Citrus fruits are suitable for an evening snack: orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pomelo. They are high in calcium, iron, vitamins B1, B2, A, D, C.
Kefir, low-fat cheese, cottage cheese - all these products can be consumed in the evening without a twinge of conscience. They contain a large amount of protein, as well as useful substances and vitamins that have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract, cleanse the body of harmful toxins.
