Every housewife has been in a position where dinner is about to be served, but there is only an hour left to prepare the table. In this situation, the housewife will be helped out by recipes for dishes that will help set a decent table in half an hour.

Experts say that skipping a midday meal is just as harmful as eating a hearty lunch. They are equally negative and often lead to drowsiness and decreased performance. Therefore, the key to excellent mood and condition is a balanced diet (for people who are not losing weight) and dietary meals.

A balanced lunch consists of:

1. First - vegetable, cheese, mushroom soups and chicken broth;
2. Second - side dish, vegetables, lean meat or fish;
3. Third - jelly, compote, black tea.

A balanced diet is based on many principles, but the following are considered important:

• Learn to correctly balance the consumption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In numbers this energy value looks like this: 1:2:3;
• Nutritionists advise correctly dividing the calories consumed per day. Breakfast should be 25% of the total, lunch – 50%, dinner – 25%;
• Count the calories in each dish.

Nutritionist advice:

1. To avoid overloading your stomach, eat small portions;
2. Be sure to add fruits, vegetable oil, protein - seafood and meat (not fatty), raw or steamed vegetables and herbs to your daily diet;
3. Increasing the intervals between meals will lead to excess weight and stress;
4. Do not deny your stomach the pleasure of eating soups every day;
5. Drink broths more often, especially chicken broths. They contain lysocism, an enzyme that enhances immunity.
