[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops, didn't get the memo. Ate a full lamb stew dinner with saffron rice. I don't like eating cold meals unless the weather is boiling. I think people might get confused over one thing - grazing doesn't necessarily mean less calories or healthier meals. It really depends what you're eating.

It’s not about cutting calories. It’s about snacks for dinner when no one is looking. [/quote]

For you, maybe. But the implication behind the term "girl dinner" is that women look for less caloric options, or healthier options. Snacking by its very nature can be a slippery slope because while your brain is thinking "oh, I'm just grazing", your body is picking high-calorie foods and eating too much of it, and then you may end up eating too fatty or too salty. A cheese or charcuterie board for example, isn't a great choice. The OP's only healthy suggestion was yogurt of hummus with crackers.

Sorry for taking a lecturing tone. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I've seen women think they're eating healthy and then wonder why they're gaining weight and feeling blah.

No, the implication behind "girl dinner" is that I am freed from the burden of cooking for a night, and I want to make as little effort as possible.[/quote]

100% this.

See how no one person gets to define what “girl dinner” means? The above is what it means to me. If you don’t like the phrase, don’t use it. I don’t walk around saying “girl dinner,” but on a night when I don’t have to cook for anyone and only have to please myself, some Gouda, crackers, cucumber slices, and a glass of Prosecco, that’s what I’m gonna do.
