How much should be the calorie level in a quick easy dinner recipe?

Written by: Always Foodie

My doctor advised me to have a healthy and low calorie dinner. I have seen a quick easy dinner recipe which is very less in calorie and high in fiber. The chef used the normal vegetable oil in the cooking process. But I want to know, can I use olive oil in the place of simple vegetable oil to cut down more calories? Will cutting down the calories below minimum will make the dish unhealthy? What do you think I should do? How many calories does one need to have in a day?

    Dinner is a crucial part of our daily meal and plays an important role in keeping us fit and healthy. Though a lot of emphasis is given towards breakfast and lunch, dinner ought not to be neglected. After a long stressful day a wholesome dinner rich in all nutrients is what is required to replenish the energy level and cope up with the fatigue. But saying this does not imply that one needs to go for a heavy meal just to fill your stomach. It is a general tendency amongst most to go for sumptuous meals just to satisfy their hunger pangs and taste buds but the nutritive content takes a back seat. A dinner has to be rich in fiber and minerals. It is advisable to keep the fat content to a bare minimum level. Fiber aids in digestion and improves the metabolic activities. Including salads in the dinner meal is a very simple and healthy option. It not only provides you with all the nutrients and is low in fat content but also aids in cleansing your body, making it free of toxins. Alongside fruits such as apple make up for a complete dinner meal. The normal calorie requirement for the whole day i.e., on a working day is approximately 1600 cal with the dinner breakup being 600 calories. On weekends 1300 calories are suffice to meet your body needs with 300 calories must for dinner. So, whatever you cook has to fulfill this parameter. It is good that you are using olive oil which is much more healthier and light in content compared to normal vegetable oil.
