Avacado sandwich (1 piece)

Use a smaller portion of bread or make the sandwich open-faced; choose dense pumpernickel or 100% stone-ground whole-grain bread rather than white bread.

Add protein to the sandwich, such as egg, tofu, chicken, tuna, or cottage cheese, and avoid sweet spreads or sauces.

Include non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, peppers, or sprouts to increase fiber and volume.

Have a side of chickpeas or lentils instead of chips, crackers, or a sugary drink.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.

Check portions and your glucose response: avocado is usually not the main driver, so the bread amount, fillings, sauces, and drink are useful areas to adjust.
