Light, healthy dinners: quick and filling recipes
Healthy dinners for when you want something quick that will not sit heavy before bed: fish, chicken, eggs, beans, and plenty of vegetables, most ready in half an hour or less and a few with no cooking at all. The protein in each plate helps you avoid going to bed hungry, and the portions are moderate.
The numbers on each card are per serving and are not eyeballed: they add up the per-100 g values of each ingredient in the food database, which come from USDA FoodData Central. If you take a GLP-1 medication and fill up fast, start each plate with the protein and leave the sides for last.
