The good news is that scientists and doctors have
suggested that it’s both beneficial and even essential to eat in the
evening. But to avoid stomach heaviness, poor sleep, and weight gain,
it’s important to choose products for your dinner wisely. And of course,
don’t forget about the reasonable portion sizes.

Egg dishes
Eggs are a source of whole protein that contain essential amino acids
and they quickly make you feel full. The best choice is eggs Benedict or
simply hard-boiled eggs. Omelets and scrambled eggs are also a good
dinner option, but only if you cook them with a minimal amount of oil
(or no oil at all). |

Cheese and grapes
A small portion of cheese is only around 100 calories, but it’ll bring
you a lot of pleasure and benefits in the form of tryptophan, protein,
and casein. In particular, casein can help you feel more satisfied and
is good for muscle health if you taken before sleeping. A few grapes,
which incidentally are rich in melatonin, will also benefit your sleep. |

Hummus with vegetable sticks
The basis of this dish is chickpeas. They are rich in vitamin B6 and, in
turn, are important for the synthesis of serotonin. If you decide to
have a late-night snack, the best addition to this rich dish is
cucumber, zucchini, or carrots sticks. |

Flavorful corn
For a late-night snack, it’s better to choose boiled corn instead of
canned corn. This product may help remove excess cholesterol from the
body. And remember that you shouldn’t add too much butter or salt to
this snack.

Fish
For late-night diners, it’s better to opt for an oily fish. For example,
you can choose nutrient-rich cod or flounder — the omega-3 fatty acids
contained in it is famous for its ability to break down fats. The
protein in fish is also good for metabolism.
