Make sure you eat enough protein
A protein-rich dinner can help improve your basal metabolism, helping your body burn more fat at night and is good for your physical and mental health.
People who have a habit of exercising in the evening should consume enough protein and eat eggs, chicken breast... in moderation.
Eat vegetables regularly
Vegetables are rich in fiber, which can help keep you feeling full. Eating them with foods containing carbs and protein can also stabilize blood sugar levels after meals, preventing fat accumulation.
We should eat about 1-2 cups of vegetables for dinner, prioritizing green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach...
Reduce carbohydrate intake appropriately
The human body's insulin sensitivity is low at night. Consuming the same amount of carbohydrates - a basic component of human food - will release more insulin than during the day, making it easier to convert carbohydrates into fat.
So, you should consume less carbohydrates at dinner, try replacing rice with corn, whole grains or sweet potatoes.
Finish dinner before 7pm
Metabolism is low at night. If you eat too late and the excess calories are not consumed, you are more likely to become obese.
Drink a glass of water or low-fat milk before meals.
People who are prone to hunger at night or cannot resist the temptation of delicious food should drink a glass of water or low-fat milk before meals, which can help improve feelings of fullness.
Drinking milk before meals can stabilize blood sugar and prevent fat accumulation, which can also help improve sleep quality.
