8. Rice
Even though we love sushi and Indian food, they might not be the best choice after a long day at work. Rice has a lot of complex carbs, which take a long time to break down. It’s great because it keeps us going for a long time. But this makes the rice high in calories, which could cause you to gain weight if you eat it at night.
The best time to add rice to your diet is at lunchtime. During these hours, your metabolism works quickly, making it easier for your body to break down this food. Plus, you’ll need a boost of energy to get things done, and complex carbs can help with that!
