What’s for dinner? We’ve got you covered.

Hello,

Are you wondering what to eat for dinner?

I recently spoke to the folks at Eat This, Not That! and shared these guidelines to help you craft a healthy dinner while also keeping your weight in check. I recommend choosing balanced portions including foods from the various food groups.

• Try to fill half your plate with colorful vegetables. Include your favorite non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, red pepper, and/or Bok choy.
• Include healthy proteins such as fish, chicken, beans, tofu, tempeh, and eggs. This should be 1/4 of the plate.
• Grill or bake your fish or chicken instead of frying it.
• Include a healthy starch for 1/4 of your plate, such as sweet potato, brown rice, quinoa, kasha, farro, or a baked potato. Limit white flour and practice portion control—you can still include some starch and lose weight, just don’t eat too much of it.

With these tips in mind, here are 65 (no, that’s not a typo!) delicious and nutritious dinner ideas. I hope you like (some of) them.

Let me know your favorite dinners.

Have a healthy week!

Warmly,

Lisa
