Healthy Dinner Ideas
Dinner is as important as any meal; it is important that unless you are post work out, post race, post huge day climbing, skiing etc and caloricly deprived you do not need to gorge yourself. It is never a good idea to eat heavily in the evening or late into the evening; not just from a weight gain perspective but from a health perspective the body uses the night time and sleeping hours to cleanse and regenerate! As always think balance, protein, fats, and carbs!
If you do not know how much you want to be consuming for each "meal" use this BMR and RMR calculator to get an idea, check estimates based on activity level. Calculator.
