what constitutes a "healthy dinner"?

Accepted Answer

Healthy dinner.: Generally speaking, lean source of protein (chicken, fish, turkey, pork), complex carbohydrates including both grains and vegetables, and water to drink. For vegetarians, combine beans and grains to create a complete protein. Don't make dessert a regular part of dinner - only an occasional treat.

Question 3

is a dinner of broccoli and steak a healthy dinner?

Accepted Answer

Healthy dinner: Each meal is best when containing protein, carb, and good fat.  The Steak and broccoli cover the first two.  A salad w/olive oil takes care of the third.  Everyone has different nutritional needs.  Your doctor or a nutritionist can help create a food plan for you you and take ito account your health status.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

can two breakfast sandwiches be considered a healthy dinner?

Accepted Answer

Not really.: One breakfast sandwich alone is likely not to be considered a healthy breakfast, even. Sausage or bacon?  Egg yolks?  Cheese?  Fried stuff?  Bad bad bad. Skimping on your meals means skimping on your health.

Question 5

what types of food constitutes a healthy dinner for someone on a diet?

Accepted Answer

Think fiber: Most diets fail due to limited nutritional value and social value.  Increasing fiber through more vegetables, more foods with vibrant colors and texture, can fill the plate and the need for a longer meal experience.  Focus on taste and slow pleasures.  Fatty and meat based portions of any meal will sabatoge the process.  Use lean meats  and fish to accentuate one quarter of the plate.

Question 6

is an apple and carrot a healthy dinner?

Accepted Answer

No: The caloric intake is too low and this is not a balanced meal.
