You know how I tell you to make dinner the least significant, lightest meal in your day? Well I have a hunch that that hasn’t been happening in the last week or two since the summer started. Don’t let all of those meals out sabotage your healthy goals, and make sure to
1. Eat enough during the day. Period.
2. Eat a significant high protein afternoon snack.
3. Drink lots of water.
If you do one of those things, great. If you do both of those things, you will set yourself up for not being too hungry at night and having much more control over your choices and your portions. If you do all of those things, then you’re doing really awesome. It’s first and foremost, physiologic! If you give your body enough food during the day, you won’t need so much later. You will end up having more energy, sleeping better, having less gastrointestinal symptoms, waking up lighter and ready for breakfast, and the list goes on. You can challenge me and all you want, but I have witnessed real people in real life beginning to practice this and adopting it as second nature for over twenty years and the results speak for themselves.

By the way, the amount of protein that you need in a day will vary based on who you are. A 5 foot tall woman does not need the same amount of protein as a 6 foot tall man. Get my drift?
I know you’re seeing all over the Internet that you should gage the amount of protein on 1 gram per pound of your body weight, but that is not usually necessary. Generally for women, I would recommend getting 20 to 30 g of protein per meal and aiming for at least 100 g a day to start. That might be more than enough work to focus on at first and for many people! Improving your health is just about focusing on baby steps in the right direction. You need to stop doing the all or nothing, the black-and-white. There’s just no point. If you’re struggling to get enough protein in right now, start slow and work your way up.
