Healthy Dinner Options

Pasta mixed with vegetables and lean meat or seafood makes a great dinner that's quick and healthful. Whole wheat pasta is so much better then it was a few years ago that it's a good choice.

Meat whether it's grilled or broiled can be lean and healthful if you choose the right cuts. Skinless chicken and turkey are obvious choices but fillet mignon and pork tenderloin are very low in fat, high in protein are wonderful if not over cooked.

Seafood as long as it's not fried or slathered in butter is a lean and protein rich option. Most shellfish are high in cholesterol so keep that in mind but enjoy all the fish you want. If you are eating a lot of fish mix it because most stores have plenty of variety.

Beans and rice, either brown or wild, make excellent side dishes that pack a lot of fiber and vitamins into your meal. They're much better for you then buttered potatoes.

Salads can make a hearty dinner by simply adding some leftover chicken or a can of good water packed tuna (go for the solid and not the chunk) or salmon.
