Dinner is that meal of the day where you want your stomach to be full, but you do not want it to be unhealthy. The dinner should not be very heavy but it should be nutritious and healthy so that it can keep you full till you have breakfast the next day. Usually, Indian dinners are pretty heavy as we eat a lot of carbohydrates in our meals. Chapati, rice and most of our staples have a lot of carbs and some people try to avoid eating that at night before sleeping due to the lack of physical activity that their body would engage in after the meal.
One of the best options that has become very popular in terms of having a healthy dinner is soup. Be it hot and sour soup, tomato soup or mushroom soup, there are a lot of options that you can experiment with.
