Many people mistakenly believe that weight loss requires skipping meals and depriving oneself of food. Rather than starving, eating the right kind of food, in the right portion, can help boost weight loss. In fact, you can turn every meal to work in your favor by making it nutritious, balanced, and also protein rich. Dinner time, in India, is the time when families sit down and spend time together, and share the happenings of the day over a sumptuous meal. If you consider dinner time as an opportunity to spend quality time with family and loved ones, we would suggest NOT skipping dinner just because you want to shed a few extra pounds. What you can do instead is to make your meals protein rich and increase your chances of fat burn. Since protein is more satiating than carbs, it can help you feel fuller for longer, reducing the likelihood of overeating or snacking later. By promoting feelings of fullness, protein can contribute to better appetite control and reduced calorie intake overall. Additionally, protein requires more energy to be digested and metabolized (high thermic effect), this means that your body burns more calories during digestion when you consume protein-rich foods. Taking all these factors into consideration, a dinner with protein-rich foods can play a significant role in boosting weight loss, helping you stay on track and achieve your goals more effectively. In this post, we list down 6 high-protein dinner ideas to boost weight loss.

1. Dal-Chawal:

Indian dals (toor, masoor, matki, chana, moong, etc.) have slow-digesting carbs along with high protein and fiber content, makes the basic dal-chawal combo weight loss friendly. Just practice portion control, and you are all good. However, we would suggest replacing the regular polished white rice with brown variety instead due to a better complex carb profile.

2. Proso Millet Pulao (Chena Bajra Pulao):

Proso millet has the highest protein content among millets, and it’s a gluten and nutrient rich option too. You can make pulao by using this millet along with veggies, and whole spices. Serve it with raita or pickle on the side. Also read: “Kutki and Other Amazing Millets for Weight Loss.”

3. Grilled Chicken with Roasted Vegetables:

It’s common knowledge that chicken is an extremely good source of non-vegetarian protein. Combine it with veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, etc., you can have best of the both worlds.

4. Salmon and Quinoa Bowl:

Salmon and tuna are also low-fat protein rich sources. In combination with quinoa, they make for a high-protein dinner option. You can also add steamed vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, and carrots. Finish with a drizzle of low-fat Greek yogurt dressing or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. That’s it! Easy to make and highly nutritious, it’s a filling meal.

5. Roti with Matar Paneer Sabzi:

Not paneer butter masala, just a simple basic matar with paneer curry. Prepare the roti without oil and have it with green peas and cottage cheese (both rich in protein). Matar paneer is a popular North Indian dish that combines green peas and paneer (Indian cottage cheese) in a rich tomato-based gravy. You can also have palak paneer if you want to skip having green peas at night.

6. Roti with Aloo Chole:

Here’s another high-protein sabzi with roti – potato chickpea curry! Aloo chole combines chickpeas with potatoes in a flavorful curry. Use minimal oil to make the sabzi and skip the oil while making rotis. Also read: “Are Chickpeas Healthy for Weight Loss?”
