Not eating at night is a real gift that is given to a very small number of people.
Not eating at night is a real gift that is given to a very small number of people. We love to look in the fridge before going to bed - that's why we found out what foods you can eat in the evening and not be afraid for your figure or health.
Milk products
A glass of low-fat milk or kefir will help satisfy your hunger and bring pleasure to your taste buds - what else do you need for a healthy snack? In addition, dairy products are well absorbed in the body due to lactic acid bacteria, promote metabolism and saturate the body with calcium.
nuts
Nuts are high in calories, but rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which improve heart function. It is believed that a handful of nuts - the daily norm - helps to improve sleep. It will be optimal to eat a handful of pistachios - of all nuts, they contain the least amount of fat and calories.
Oat flakes
Oatmeal can be eaten not only in the morning, but also in the evening - it contains a large amount of the hormone melatonin, which strengthens sleep. A small serving of oatmeal or oatmeal, combined with milk and homemade dried fruits, will provide the required amount of calories, remove hunger and cheer you up!
Bananas
Want to unwind before bed? Oddly enough, bananas will help you with this: they help relax muscles and prepare you for sleep (they have a lot of melatonin). But don't eat more than one banana before bed; these fruits are rich in carbohydrates, which, when consumed in large quantities, are poorly absorbed in the evening and can cause extra pounds.
Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese is worth mentioning separately from dairy products - it is rich in protein, highly digestible and low in fat and calories, which makes it an ideal option for an evening snack. We advise you to take 5% fat cottage cheese - it will not affect your figure, but it will give away all the useful elements and satisfy your hunger for several hours.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms themselves are not a heavy product for the stomach - they are perfectly digested (provided that they were not fried in a huge amount of oil). Boil or lightly stew mushrooms with a minimum of additives - and you will be surprised how quickly you can get enough of such a simple product.
Berries
A handful of berries at night won't hurt anyone, no matter how much sugar they contain. A low-calorie product with a high content of vitamins and minerals will improve skin condition, protect immunity and promote metabolism.
Boiled corn
It is boiled corn that can remove toxins from the body that have accumulated in it during the day. In addition, it helps to get rid of the feeling of heaviness in the stomach, prevents fat gain and removes excess cholesterol.
Fish
Lean fish is especially well absorbed by the body. It is also rich in B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in detoxification. At the same time, white fish - low in calories and rich in proteins - take only one tuna.
Beet
Regulation of fat metabolism, acceleration of metabolism, improvement of the cardiovascular system - and this is just a small list of the beneficial properties of beets. This is the same vegetable that benefits in any form - boiled, stewed, fried and baked.
