Dinner should be light, so it is better to reduce the amount of protein at night and focus on vegetables and fibrous foods. A healthy normal person needs an average of 0.8 grams to 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. That is, if you weigh 60 kg, you need about 48 to 60 grams of protein daily. However, those who do a lot of physical work or exercise may have little more protein requirement.
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for our body. Without it, the body will not get the energy to work. However, you have to be aware of the amount. Eating too many carbohydrates or sugary foods will cause fat to accumulate in the body. So, it is healthy to eat half or a little more than half of the plate with vegetables and protein, and keep the rest as carbohydrate.
