Summer comes to an end and it is time to set new goals. If
you are late for the 'bikini' operation, you can start preparing next year's,
but always with ahead. Is it true that carbohydrates get fat if they are eaten
at night? Should we avoid a protein-rich dinner to lose weight? Is the fault of
the fats? The truth is that none of these myths corresponds to reality.
This is stated by Maria Casas, a dietitian-nutritionist who,
in words to Alimente, explains that "there is a strange belief that
according to circadian rhythms we have a greater resistance to insulin at night
and that we feel bad, but it is the opposite." It is also not true that
reaching 3 grams of protein per kilo of weight causes kidney problems or that
the bread fattens if the person has not exceeded their energy balance at the
end of the day.
What is the perfect dinner then? Precisely the opposite of that
dictated by urban legends. In the opinion of the renowned American nutritionist
Megan Roosevelt, you should choose pasta rich in protein before going to bed.
More specifically, it refers to ravioli, noodles, spaghetti, and macaroni
composed.
Quick and easy dinner
"Pulp based on pulses can provide 25 grams of protein
per serving," an amount equivalent to six eggs, according to Roosevelt in
the magazine 'Health'. One of his favorite dishes is spaghetti a la marinara, a
recipe in which tomatoes, onions, and garlic merge into the same sauce.
"This fast and healthy dinner is a staple in our house," he admits.
There is a strange belief that according to circadian
rhythms we have greater insulin resistance at night, but it is quite the
opposite
If this is your option, you should have 100 grams of pasta,
a tender onion, a tomato, a clove of garlic, basil and Parmesan cheese. The
first step is to bring the water to a boil and chop the garlic, the ceboolla,
and the tomato while it reaches the boiling point. Next, you should brown the
garlic in a pan with little oil and then add the onion and tomato.
When the water breaks to a boil, add the pasta with a little
salt and, once cooked, add the sauce. In just 20 minutes you will have ready to
serve it on a flat plate and top it off with a touch of basil and some cheese.
Roosevelt's recipe is made from lentil paste and includes low-sugar tomato
sauce and a large salad as an accompaniment.
And for the little kitchens ...
Another of the most versatile options is hummus, a puree
cream typical of the Middle East. Although there are infinite variants (of
beet, artichoke, beans ...) the original composition is based on chickpeas,
garlic, cumin and tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds. With only 44 calories
per serving, the original recipe is a healthy and tasty bet.
For its preparation 400 grams of cooked chickpeas, two
tablespoons of tahini, a large garlic clove, a tablespoon of cumin powder, a
pinch of salt and another of sweet pepper, olive oil and water are necessary.
There is also the option of dressing it with chives and seeds.
