She emphasized that it's best to include easily digestible protein dishes in the evening menu.
“This can include lean fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, and dairy products like cottage cheese or yogurt. Meat and fish should be complemented with vegetables that are rich in fiber, which is beneficial for digestion. These can be consumed either raw or grilled,” the specialist advised.
It's also important to pay attention to spices and herbs.
“You can add lettuce leaves, dill, parsley, and basil. Spices are especially important in the diet during winter: they not only enhance the flavor of food but also boost the immune system. These can include pepper, turmeric, or rosemary,” the nutritionist listed.
The optimal time for dinner, according to the expert, is between 6 PM and 7 PM. However, it's also acceptable to eat two to three hours before sleep to allow for proper digestion, ensuring that it doesn't interfere with rest. The portion size should not exceed 250-300 grams per person, with 100-150 grams allocated to vegetables and the rest to protein.
