  • Some healthy dinners are any kind of meat, if cooked properly. Some veggies are great as well! Milk or water is also suggested. You should eat meat everyday, its a protein that's essential
  • Coming up with tasty but healthy dinner meals can be a challenge, particularly if you or your partner is trying to lose weight which usually requires modification to a planned meal, or the cooking of separate meals, which can be a real pain.
  • A balanced plate of a healthy, lean protein in which the serving is no larger than 3-4 ounces large, a substantial serving of non-starchy vegetables (broccoli, grean beans, lettuce, etc), and a small serving of a healthy starch (mashed potatoes made without butter or cream, brown rice, quinoa, etc).
  • Get a lean source of chicken, trim the fat and marinade in lemon juice with some herbs (such as thyme, oregeno, dill, Mrs. Dash etc.) for about 20 minutes then grill. Grilling is always a healthy solution because it is not being cooked in a food source such as oil when frying. It is also healthy because any fat that would drip from the chicken goes into the fire. Green beans are a good compliment with grilled chicken. Just throw in some diced onion and dill weed with them while boiling and you are good to go!
  • A salad is one of the most healthiest food choices. Some lettuce, tossed up with some chopped up carrots, broccoli, and onions are great for you! Avoid using too much dressing, cheese, and croutons, which pretty much ruin the salad's healthy qualities, instead try sunflower seeds in place of croutons.
  • A healthy dinner should consist of various components. There should be a good nutritional value, in terms of vitamins and minerals, and a healthy proportion of proteins, fats and starches, as well as fiber.
  • The internet abounds with recipes and dinner suggestions that are very healthy. Please see the link below for a few suggestions.
  • Appropriate portions of meat that are low-fat in nature (boneless, skinless chicken breasts), low sodium foods, less starch, more vegetables. I make teriyaki chicken with a rice/broccoli mix. Take about 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and cut into smallish pieces, put in a deep skillet with about 2 TBS of heart-healthy margarine, 1/2 bottle of low-sodium teriyaki sauce, 3 cloves grated/pressed garlic, at least 1/2 an onion, at least 1/2 a bell pepper, and some black pepper. Let simmer together about 25 or 30 minutes until reduced and chicken is throughly cooked. Serve over cooked rice and broccoli that is mixed together. Very good alternative to Chinese take-out food.
  • The list of examples could be quite long, but most would include a lean protein (chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef) prepared with very little or no added fat (poached, baked, or sauted). In addition it would include a complex carbohydrate like brown rice, whole grain pasta or another whole grain dish. Lastly a vegetable usually steamed, roasted, or sauted in very little oil.
  • Generally unless you have Allergies to artificial sweeteners diabetic pound cake in moderation should be healthy for anyone. There are several recipes for diabetic desserts that use extra fat and/or salt to make up for the lack of sugar, so again eaten in moderation it should be fine.
  • There are many good health dinner ideas available. Some of the best ideas include vegetarian meals such as black bean enchiladas and seafood recipes such as grilled halibut with peach and pepper salsa.

(I'm 12) Every night I make a wrap with grated vegetables. I love it. Best wrap brand is Mission because it doesn't break when you role.

Vegetable Wrap:

1. One spoon of mayonnaise, avocado or tahinee you need to have a spread. otherwise it will be too dry.

2. Spread the spread (not to the edges and not to thick)

3. Sprinkle a thin layer of grated cheese.

4. For taste tuna, ham, chicken, salami .ext

5. Then use about 5 types of vegetables - Carrot, lettuce, cucumber, broccoli .ect all go through the grater and sliced tomato, avocado some alfalfa sprouts are nice too.

How to Wrap the Wrap:

1. Fold two sides parallel to each other.

2. Fold the bottom part up and push it under the vegetables.

3. Then roll it up. (!Not to tight!)

4. If you like you can have it cold or put it in a fry pan until it goes light brown.

And theres your wrap! ENJOY!
