Dinner

http://www.livestrong.com/article/285957-the-best-time-to-eat-dinner-for-weight-loss/


From what I’ve heard in the past, people have told me that it is not good to eat dinner past 7:00 because your metabolism slows down when you go to bed. But, apparently these rumors are untrue. It is perfectly fine to eat dinner later on in the night. Your metabolism is always working and sleeping has no effect on slowing it down.

The Benefits of Veggie Burgers

Why choose a veggie burger over a regular burger? Well for those of you who don't know, or have not tried a veggie burger, they are quite delicious and can satisfy your taste buds just as much as a regular burger would. It's that time of the year where we often find ourselves BBQing with some friends and family. Grilling some veggie burgers can save you a lot of saturated fat, and extra calories that would be consumed into your body. While regular burgers have about 6 grams of fat, veggies burgers only have one.

A smoothie is always a delicious snack that you can't go wrong with. They're refreshing, tasty, and can be healthy. If you're looking for a sweet, fruity drink this summer, smoothies are the perfect beverage. By adding low fat milk, a minimal amount of sugar, and a bunch of fresh fruits, you can't go wrong.

Frozen or Fresh?

We often tend to go to the grocery store and buy all our fruits and vegetables than go home to cook them in some way. Whether it's frying, boiling, grilling, or cooking, many of the nutrients that were once in that fruit or vegetable will be lost throughout the process. What many people don't know is that buying frozen veggies or fruits and then letting them defrost is what keeps in most of the nutrients. When these foods are frozen then are picked at the time they are most rip which enables them to contain a lot of vitamins and minerals. Frozen foods also tend to last longer in general.

Salmon is an awesome meal to eat up to twice a week.  If you're looking to cut back in fatty meats that are on the heavier side, than salmon is definitely a dinner you would enjoy.  Not only is it delicious but it contains many vitamins, proteins, and healthy fats that provide your body with energy and improves your immune system. Salmon also does not include factors such as carbohydrates or sugars and it low in calories.

Got Milk?

As many may know, milk is always a healthy beverage to drink...but in moderation. It contains important vitamins and minerals that help bones grow and stay strong and healthy. Drinking milk is most important to have during you childhood all the way up until 21 years of age once your body has fully developed. For people like me, who don’t enjoy milk as much, try taking a calcium supplement.
