The Trick to Satisfying Dinners

  • Start with a vegetable soup or salad: nearly free volume
  • Always include a protein serving (satiates and helps sleep)
  • Grill, bake, or steam to avoid adding calories
  • If you trained in the afternoon, add some carbohydrate without worry
  • Eat dinner 1–2 hours before bed for better digestion
