As her day is winding down, Ziggy likes to taper her calories and begin reducing carbohydrate intake, especially starchy carbs. "A lighter [lower-calorie] dinner packed with more vegetables is perfect for me," she explains. "In the evening, I don't necessarily want a traditional carbohydrate with my meal, since I usually eat starches throughout the day."
