Making Good Choice For The Last Meal Of The Day

When attempting to lose weight dieters will not only need to construct a diet plan they'll also need to think about each and every meal or snack, especially if they are trying to stick to a specific calorie intake. I have found some people struggle when it comes to selecting a good choice for the last meal of the day. Some people can be influenced by what they read or hear which may lead to a bad choice. Some of the ideas they hear are; don't eat after 8pm, don't eat certain food items before bed or the last meal should contain specific nutrients or a specific combination of the macronutrients. Listening to all the many "rules" about what we should or shouldn't eat can be very confusing for anyone trying to lose weight.

The last meal can be important to get it right in order to lose fat stores. The correct choice is important because before sleep the body's metabolism slows down and we burn fewer calories. The body is also at a point where many nutrient-storing enzymes are active, this means that food high in fats, or even essential oils can cause them to be stored in fat cells. Even a meal composed mostly of carbs with little or no fat can cause some of the sugar to be converted to fat for storage. Another problem is if the meal has a high G.I. (glycemic index) as this releases insulin and causes the cells to take up any fat present in the meal.

The last meal may change from day to day depending on what you've done or even what you've eaten during the day. What could be considered a "bad" choice may be ok one day if there is a change in the nutritional status of the body.

Here we will provide some guidelines as to what would make a suitable last meal that helps limit any fat storage.

Some guidelines as to what the last meal should be made up of:

• Choose natural, wholesome foods
• Low Glycemic index food
• Low in fat
• Low in calories
• Contain high quality protein, up to 35 grams
• Low in sodium
• High in nutrients

If you've been working out intensely during the day then you may be able to get away with a snack higher in calories, or even high in protein. If you've not eaten much during the day then maybe try eating more of a high quality protein meal to help replenish any muscle protein loss.

In any case I believe the last meal should still contain low G.I. foods or maybe even contain no carbs, I would also try to keep the fat content quite low, probably less than 5 percent total.

Some sample meals and snacks I may include as my last meal:

• Fruit such as pear, plum, apple or prunes
• Low-fat yoghurt with cherries
• Tuna salad
• All-Bran or Muesli with skimmed milk
• Fettuccini (pasta) with tuna
• Lean chicken breast (small portion) with sweet potato
• Fresh fish with broccoli, cabbage and green peas

To help keep calories low try to only have small portions. In the example of a meal lean chicken with sweet potato try cooking then simply split the quantity into two or three meals and snacks. This way you can eat little and often but still have a low calorie, low fat, and low G.I. meal.

The listed foods above may not be the best for everyone, it may be best to think about your personal food preferences. Remember to omit foods which you may cause an allergic reaction!

goji berries badBulgarian Food Recipes

Bulgarian food is very tasty indeed, maybe because it has so many influences from the Arabic, Turkish, Greek and Western European cuisines.

Soups are very popular in Bulgaria; there's no lunch without soup. In summer, the most popular is a cold soup called 'tarator', prepared from yoghurt, water, cucumber, garlic, dill, nuts and a pinch of salt. Tourists also find it very refreshing.

For the rest of the year, there are:
1) 'zeleva chorba' (a kind of cabbage soup with fat meat, rice and pepper and a rather sour taste which makes it unpopular with foreigners); 'agneshka kurban chorba' (of Turkish origin, boiled mutton soup);

2) 'shkembe' (the most popular soup in the country, consisting of tripe, milk, water and spices; it is very a very good medicine for hangovers and must be consumed with chilly red pepper, garlic and vinegar).

Main courses bear the same weird names and are even tastier than the soups.

'Sarmi lozovlist' and 'zelevi sarmi' both consist of a mixture of minced meat and rice rolled in leaves - grape wine leaves for the former and sauerkraut leaves for the latter. They are sometimes cooked without meat!

Brought to Bulgaria centuries ago, 'musaka' is a dish of Greek origin. It is usually cooked from potatoes and minced meat but sometimes eggplants are used as a substitute for potatoes. There is also a vegetarian option available.

'Kavarma' is an aromatic combination of meat (beef, pork or lamb), chicken or fish, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, carrots, pepper etc. It is served very hot in a clay pot.

'Giuveche', also cooked and served in a hot pot, contains meat or sausages, vegetables, cheese and eggs. You should not order it if you are too hungry as it takes a long time to cook.

The traditional Bulgarian salad is made of tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and cheese, sometimes also onion, peppers, olives and parsley. It is very tasty as the Bulgarian vegetables are grown naturally, without fertilizers which makes them a lot juicier than they are in western countries.

A very pleasant culinary adventure is a Bulgarian appetizer made of cheese, honey and basil. It may sound strange but its taste is amazing. Usually a bit of garlic is added for those who like it. 'Kiufte' is a traditional meatball prepared from minced meat with local spices. In Bulgaria it is consumed as a main course with salad, chips, pickles or other garnish. It is prepared in a frying pan but it may also be cooked with sauce as stew or as a soup with pasta or potatoes.

Among desserts, the most popular in the area are: 'halva' (milled cereals or seeds, oils and nuts), 'lokum' (a soft sticky sweet rolled in sugar), 'baklava' (a very sweet pastry with syrup and walnut filling, of Turkish or Arabian origin).

There is a choice of western European food in most restaurants of the capital city but a tourist to Bulgarien had better try the local cuisine. The food is too tasty to miss; besides, most of the courses are not difficult to prepare at home and if you find something exceedingly tasty you might ask for the recipe and try cooking it when you get home. The chef will be delighted to give it to you along with a couple of tips for cooking.

The company Bulgarien has many years experience with taking care of accommodation to Bulgaria.
