Dietetic Dinner

Dinner is a meal that makes losing weight the greatest difficulty. Preparing the dish that is light, healthy, nutritious and tasty at the same time is not easy. It should not contain a large amount of fat and simple carbohydrates because of the risk of not being able to digest them before bedtime. A better proposition is protein-rich food, because it will not be stored as fat and will be utilized in the process of muscle regeneration that occurs during sleep instead. Here are a few recipes for a nice dinner that is safe for your figure.

Salad with sprouts and feta cheese

During weight loss it’s worth eating a lot of salads, as vegetables and fruits are a source of many valuable vitamins and minerals. Salad can also provide protein if we add, for example, feta cheese to it. An interesting idea is to make a salad with sprouts and feta cheese. To prepare this we need:

– Half of a red pepper (100g)

– Half of a yellow pepper (100g)

– Half of a cucumber (100g)

– 10-15g of radish sprouts or alfalfa

– 50g of feta cheese (10% fat)

– One tablespoon olive oil

– A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

– A tablespoon of water

– Spices: pepper, oregano, basil

First, wash the vegetables, cut them into cubes and then mix with the sprouts. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, water and spices together to make the sauce. Pour it on the vegetables and stir. Dice the feta cheese and add it to the salad, then slowly mix together. This amount of ingredients is enough for one portion of the salad, making it about 250 kcal.

Italian salad

Another idea for salad fans is the Italian salad. To prepare one portion that contains 200 calories we need:

We tear lettuce into pieces, cut tomatoes into halves, olives into quarters and mozzarella into cubes. Mix these ingredients. Prepare the sauce from the ingredients that are left, then pour it on the salad.

Cottage cheese with radish and chives

You can also have cottage cheese for dinner, of which 100 grams contains about 100kcal and 22g of protein. Cottage cheese goes perfectly with, for example, radish and chives. To cook this tasty dish we need:

Omelette with tomatoes and basil

On cold days you should eat as many hot meals as possible, to boost immunity and help prevent diseases. For dinner you can prepare an omelette with tomatoes and basil, as it only contains 200 calories. To make it we need the following ingredients:

Pancakes with cheese

Pancakes are a dish that you do not have to give up during weight loss, as there are many versions of it that are fit for a diet. To prepare the pancakes worth 200 kcal we need:

The flour should be mixed with the egg, milk and salt. This is best done using a mixer, to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Fry the pancakes on a Teflon pan. Mix stuffing ingredients and transfer the fried pancake.

Baked apple with curd filling

Another idea for a hot and tasty dinner is a baked apple with curd filling. We will need:

Wash the apple and hollow it out. Mix cottage cheese with cranberries and cinnamon, then put it all inside the fruit. Bake the apple in the oven for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees C. Cranberries can be replaced with raisins or chopped prunes, depending on preference.

It’s also possible to use normal recipes and replacing some products with others that are better for a slim figure. The important thing is not to be limited to just a few dishes because the monotony of the diet discourages weight loss.
