Eating too much carbs or eating too much protein is bad. You can’t just eat one type of food. If you are in a diet, once you finish it you will end up going back to your old eating style.

2). The second meal should be a small snack, the ideal snack should be a fruit. Do not eat any fats. That snack should be not that much, its just to calm yourself from eating anything bad before the meal.
3) The third meal of the day need to be strong, since the dinner will be small. Mix protein, it can be chicken breast, meat, pork… Add some carbs, it can be vegetables, rice, quinoa, or wheats. The ideal fat to add in a diet is avocado.
4) The last meal should be a small meal, only one type of food. The best recommendations to eat for dinner are a salad, tuna, grilled chicken, avocado toast, or a fruit.
