When we aim to lose weight, all our main meals must be healthy, including dinner. Also, dinner is usually prepared at home, at the moment, using the food that we have in the fridge or the pantry, and therefore it is easier for us to control its nutritional quality and caloric intake. On the other hand, it is undeniable that it is the time of day when we are most tired, so the most advisable thing is to have healthy but easy to prepare dinner recipes. In this article we present 7 low-calorie dinners :

Clean and cut an onion, some carrots, and green pepper. Sauté some garlic cloves with olive oil until golden brown. Add the vegetables, sauté them a little and cover them with water so that they are done.

Finally, add a handful of brown rice and vegetables like pumpkin and baked Brussels sprouts with Provencal herbs.

Add the quinoa and chickpeas to the glass of the mincer to crush them until there is an appearance of puree. If you have trouble grinding them, you can add a little water. Try not to overdo it with the water because you will run the risk of being too liquid. Clean the onion and the garlic clove to incorporate them with the previous mixture, along with the pumpkin.
