What should I eat for a healthy dinner?

A healthy dinner always focuses on vegetables.  Vegetables are such a nutrient dense food that give you a huge bang for your buck in terms of the high amounts of vitamins and minerals and fiber they provide with a low calories count.  As a general rule of thumb, a healthy dinner means half the plate is vegetables.

What should I eat for dinner to lose weight?

Nutrition and exercise are the keys for weight loss, however nutrition matters most!  Some studies suggest the key to healthy weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. So eating a healthy dinner is essential to your weight loss success.
This list includes many healthy meals that can support you in your weight loss goals.  But remember, at the end of the day, it's calories in vs. calories out; so watch your portion size!
