After a long, stressful day, dinner often turns into a search for comfort. Maybe you’re craving a warm bowl of stew or a classic plate of meat and potatoes—and that’s completely normal. In fact, listening to your hunger cues and honoring your appetite is an important part of healthy eating.

But here’s something many people don’t realize: not all meals support your metabolism the same way.

She also shares what a metabolism-friendly evening meal should look like: a balanced plate that includes lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber-rich vegetables.
