A protein dinner allows you to lose excess weight and not lose muscle mass, the main thing is to prepare it correctly. Why is dinner so important? After all, the famous rule of all girls losing weight - not to eat after six in the evening, removes it from the diet.
It's just that long breaks between meals slow down metabolic processes. The body begins to store fats. At night, the glucose needed by brain cells is released from the muscles. And fat deposits remain in place. You seem to be losing weight, but your body becomes flabby.
A proper dinner will not be deposited on the sides and hips, and will give the body all the necessary substances. You will lose weight without compromising your health.
General rules
A protein-vegetable diet for weight loss is a type of low-calorie protein-low-carbohydrate diet, in which foods containing fats and simple carbohydrates are sharply limited in the diet, with a sufficient content of protein products.
A sufficient protein content allows you to provide the body with the necessary set of amino acids , which allows you to maintain performance, and complex carbohydrates containing vitamins and fiber provide the body with energy, maintain immunity and mental performance at the proper level, intestinal function, and adsorb cholesterol /toxic compounds. Together, proteins and vegetables make you feel full. There are two approaches to this type of diet, each of which has several options:
- The first involves the separate consumption of proteins and carbohydrates (alternating protein and vegetable days).
- The second is the complex (joint) consumption of vegetables and protein products.
As protein products, it is recommended to include in the diet lean varieties of red meat (veal), poultry (chicken, turkey without skin), rabbit, low-fat cottage cheese and fermented milk products, chicken eggs (white), lean fish, seafood, seeds, nuts . Products containing a protein component are included in the diet in quantities of up to 250 g/day, stewed, boiled or steamed.
As foods containing complex carbohydrates, the diet includes vegetables - green peas, zucchini, cucumber, all types of cabbage (except cauliflower), spinach, asparagus, onions (onions, leeks, shallots), garlic, sweet peppers, lettuce, celery greens. It is recommended to consume vegetables in various forms (raw, boiled, stewed, steamed) both separately and in the form of dishes combining several vegetables.
During the preparation process, it is recommended to actively use various garden herbs, as well as include smoothies and freshly squeezed juices prepared on their basis in the diet. Vegetables rich in starch (eggplant, beets, carrots, turnips, corn, carrots, potatoes, except baked ones, pumpkin) are excluded.
Fats in the diet are limited to 40-50 g/day, mainly due to saturated fats of animal origin (pork, lamb, beef) and fatty foods (fatty red meats, sausages, fatty fish, waterfowl meat - duck, goose, smoked meats, butter, fatty cottage cheese, cheese, sour cream, cream, mayonnaise), and unsaturated fats, mainly in the form of unrefined vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, are consumed in moderation.
It is strictly not recommended to limit the amount of fat in the diet below the specified figures, since they are the most important dietary nutrient and are necessary for the normal process of metabolism , absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, hormone , maintaining the function of the cardiovascular system, building cell membranes and producing anti-inflammatory prostaglandins . The desire to completely limit fat can lead to serious negative consequences and harm your health.
A prerequisite for diets of this type is the exclusion from the diet of foods containing simple carbohydrates (sugar, polished rice, condensed milk, confectionery, sweet fruits, sweets, honey, jam, semolina, ice cream, chocolate, sweet drinks, pasta, baked goods made from premium flour), which are broken down in the body into monosaccharides and when consumed in excess, the mechanism of their conversion into fat (subcutaneous/intra-abdominal) is triggered.
Salt and salty foods (pickles, pickled foods, canned food, semi-finished products, fast food) are subject to restrictions in the diet. Free fluid consumption is 1.5-2.0 l/day.
A protein-vegetable diet with separate consumption of proteins and carbohydrates can be calculated for any period of time (from 4 to 20 days). The basic principle is separate nutrition. On days with a protein diet - foods containing protein, on carbohydrate days - allowed vegetables. It is important not to violate the chosen nutrition plan. For example, one day a protein mono-diet, one day a carbohydrate diet, or two days a protein diet and the next two days a carbohydrate diet.
With a mixed type of nutrition, the diet includes approximately 50% of foods containing protein and 50% of permitted vegetables. It is important to take carbohydrate foods in the first half of the day, and protein foods mainly at dinner.
However, no matter what type of diet and its duration you choose, it is recommended to carry out 1-2 fasting days based on low-fat kefir (up to 1.5 l/day) before starting it. To maintain the effect, the correct exit from the diet is extremely important. The transition to your usual diet should be carried out within 5-7 days, gradually expanding the diet first with starchy vegetables, then bread and later fattier meats/fish, cottage cheese, fermented milk products and medium-fat cheese, a small amount of butter . During the diet, it is recommended to take complex vitamin and mineral preparations.

Recipes, calories
The dinner option under discussion may include both plant and animal proteins. But the first option is less digestible. In addition, it does not contain important amino acids and B vitamins.
One of the main advantages of a protein dinner is its ease of preparation. You can use a slow cooker or oven for it. In general, the process will take no more than half an hour. If you choose a portion of cottage cheese with healthy additives or a kefir cocktail as your last meal, then they will only take a few minutes.
Bird with broccoli
A protein dinner for weight loss, recipes for which are published below, often includes poultry and vegetables. For example, chicken breast is delicious combined with broccoli. Instead of the latter, you can also take cauliflower.
You can combine 2 vegetables at once. To speed up the whole process, you will need to preheat the oven in advance. Optimally – up to 200°. The calorie content of the treat will be approximately: 74 kcal per 100 g.
Ingredients:
- poultry breast and broccoli - half a kilo each;
- low-fat milk – ½ l;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- garlic, spices, herbs, salt.
Preparation:
- The washed poultry meat needs to be chopped into portions. It is advisable to make them small so that the treat is easy to eat.
- The baking dish is coated with any oil. It should take no more than 1 tsp per container. The cabbage will be distributed on top. Broccoli is pre-divided into small “umbrellas”.
- To prepare the filling, you will need to mix the contents of a raw egg, milk and chopped garlic without the husk. This mass is poured over the cabbage.
- The treat will bake for about a quarter of an hour. A couple of minutes before it is completely ready, sprinkle the dish with any chopped herbs. It is best to use assorted.
The resulting treat is cut into portions and served warm. You can complement it with any low-fat sauce. For example, based on unsweetened yogurt.
Omelet with tomato and basil
A protein dinner for weight loss (recipes can be found below in the article) is often an omelet with various additives. For example, with vegetables and herbs. The result is a quick, simple and satisfying dish. If you wish, you can improve it to your liking.
Any frozen vegetables will fit perfectly into the treat. For example, a Mexican mixture with the addition of sweet corn kernels. The calorie content of the dish will be approximately: 94 kcal per 100 g.
Ingredients:
- eggs (whites only) – 2 pcs.;
- cherry – 1 bunch (or 2-3 large tomatoes);
- fresh basil – 1 bunch;
- low-fat milk – ½ tbsp.;
- spices, garlic, salt.
Preparation:
- The tomatoes are washed and cut into medium pieces. If they are cherry tomatoes, just cut them in half. Pieces of tomatoes are poured into a frying pan with a thick bottom and cooked over low heat for 3-3.5 minutes.
- At the very end, you can add chopped or pressed garlic to the tomatoes.
- Proteins are sent to a separate bowl. They need to be whisked together with spices, salt and milk.
- The resulting mixture is poured over the tomatoes in the frying pan. The treat is sprinkled with greens if desired. You can do this now or with a ready-made omelet. The basil is pre-washed, dried, and finely chopped.
- You need to cook the treat until the eggs harden. If pickled vegetables are used in a dish, they should be added immediately after the tomatoes have softened. Another tasty option is to use sweet peppers and carrots.
When the omelette is completely ready, transfer it to a heated plate. Afterwards, you can cut the dish into pieces like a pie and serve it with tea for dinner. If there are not too many vegetables in the omelette, you can place a separate dish with chopped vegetables.
Chicken skewers in citrus marinade
To make the chicken especially tasty and aromatic, you should prepare it in advance. For example, take care of the original marinade. The basis of the latter should be citrus juice – lemon/lime. If desired, you can also add soy sauce and ginger to the marinating mixture. The calorie content of the dish will ultimately be approximately: 162 kcal per 100 g.

If you cook kebabs from poultry, you need to let the meat brew for at least 70-80 minutes. Otherwise, its taste will not be bright and interesting. The longer the bird sits in the marinade, the softer it will be.
- The fillet, washed and dried with paper towels, should be cut into portions. For the marinade, citrus juice (whole) and the selected spice will be combined in a separate bowl. You should choose a glass bowl. Meat pieces are sent into it and the resulting marinade is poured on top. If there are seeds in the citrus juice, the liquid must be strained.
- After mixing the meat pieces directly with your hands, they are sent to the cool place to marinate.

For example, in soy sauce and bake or fry with chicken. Vegetables that are perfect include zucchini, cherry tomatoes, onions, carrots, and eggplants.
Salmon with vegetables
Protein dinner for weight loss is also tasty from fish. For example, you can make salmon as the basis of the recipe. This fish should be cooked in its own juice, without adding oil. It will turn out juicy, soft, tender. It is convenient to use foil or a baking dish with a lid for the dish. In a pinch, a thick-walled, sealable frying pan will do.
