Feature:
Eating Smart- A Balanced Diet
Dinner
The evening meal is an opportunity to go easy on your calories and eat foods that can be
quickly digested. Have more of vegetables, fruits, pulses and unrefined cereals like whole
wheat. Avoid beans, chickpeas and starchy foods (like potatoes and rice) at this time of
the day, as these foods take longer to digest and are likely to lead to a restless night
if the digestive process is still continuing when you go to bed. Have your dinner as early
in the evening as possible. You can always top up with a fresh fruit or a low calorie
fruity dessert later which will provide you vital vitamins and extra fiber.
Indulgences such as dry fruit sweets are all high in sugar and fat, so are best reserved
for an occasional treat.
A balanced dinner should provide you:
- Fewer calories as compared to lunch but enough to keep you satiated
through the night
Fiber by way of a salad or a fruit
