It is well known that the body needs carbohydrates before noon, but in the afternoon and in the evening your body needs protein. Egg whites are almost pure protein , so boil some eggs or make scrambled eggs with lots of veggies.

Idea 3: Yogurt with wild berries

This combination refers to pure yogurt and fresh fruit, not the bottled fruit yogurt. In a low-fat yogurt add fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes. It’s not recommended to add bananas, because the banana is quite calorific.

Idea 4: White meat or fish

White meat or fish is recommended to combine with a large amount of fresh or cooked vegetables. Avoid calorie supplements such as sauces and dairy products.

Idea 5: Pasta
