Keep dinner light

Busy schedules can make it difficult to eat more in the morning. Try these simple strategies to make the most of your body’s natural rhythms.

1. Keep dinner light. Eating more in the morning may stimulate the hormones that help you feel satisfied, which can make you less likely to overeat at night.
2. Prepare dinner in advance. Plan healthy meals you can pull together quickly. Try using the slow cooker or prepare weeknight meals on the weekends.
3. You can eat and exercise. Follow an early-evening workout with vegetables, healthy protein, and fiber-rich whole grains.
4. Turn in early. You’ll be less likely to snack, and you’ll have a better chance of getting the rest your brain and body require.
