Hi Komal,
I’m Joseph, 37 years old, 177 cm height and weight around 90 kg (overweight).
I do not eat much for breakfast and lunch as my work gets in between, but dinner I eat too much.
Even after a good or heavy dinner, I feel hungry at times after a while and I end up eating again.
Not sure how I can control my urge to eat at night.
Diet should comprise of small frequent meals to increase your metabolism.
Include nutrient dense foods with high protein and fibre to increase satiety value and provide essential nutrients.
As you are busy at work, include healthy foods like buttermilk, fruits and nuts as fillers in between meals.
Avoid skipping meals as this will lower your metabolism.
Excess calories at dinner will get converted to fat and will result in weight gain.
Have a bowl of salad before dinner and include fibre rich foods to add bulk to your diet.
Have a cup of skimmed milk at bed time in case you still feel hungry.
Milk has the amino acid tryptophan, which helps in inducing sleep and provides protein which is slowly digested and raises the satiety value.
