Scrambled Egg (2 Eggs) and Toasted Reduced Calorie High Fiber Rye Bread (1 Thin Slice)

Reduce the toast portion—for example, have one smaller slice or half a slice—and keep the scrambled eggs as the main part of the meal.

Choose a denser, minimally processed 100% rye or pumpernickel bread with no added sugar, and compare total carbohydrate and fiber per slice on labels.

Add non-starchy vegetables to the eggs, such as spinach, mushrooms, peppers, or zucchini, to increase meal volume and fiber without adding many digestible carbohydrates.

Add a fat-rich side such as avocado, olives, or a small handful of nuts or seeds; this can slow the meal’s overall carbohydrate absorption.

Eat the eggs and vegetables first, then the toast, rather than starting with the bread.

Avoid sweet spreads, honey, jam, sweetened coffee drinks, or fruit juice with this meal; use unsweetened options such as butter, avocado, or a savory vegetable topping instead.
