Brown rice with chicken: If you tend to exercise after lunch or dinner, avoid rich foods and have a simple dish of brown rice with chicken or tofu. It's a bland meal that sits well and provides a good amount of carbs and protein, says Meine.
Brown rice is healthier than white rice. Adding brown rice to your diet in place of white rice or other refined grains may help you lose weight. This nutritious whole grain contains 110 calories per half-cup serving, along with 2 grams each of protein and fiber.
