Weeknight dinners can be a challenge. When you walk in the door after a long day at work, it can be difficult to create a lighter meal that satisfying and easy to prepare. But if you don’t, you’ll likely end up snacking all night long. Try these 500 calorie dinners from EatingWell so you can stay on track with your weight loss goals.
“Why 500 calories? Most people can lose weight eating 1,500 calories a day and when we break down the calorie totals by meal, 500 calories is a healthy amount to have at dinner to stay satisfied throughout the evening. In addition to controlling for calories, we made sure these meals provide healthy amounts of fiber and protein, both of which help to keep you feeling fuller for longer, which is especially helpful when cutting calories to lose weight”.
