Egg (Whole) (1 Large) and Bacon (Cured, Pan-Fried, Cooked) (1 Slice Cooked)

Reduce the bacon portion and choose a lower-sodium, less-sugared cured bacon; avoid bacon glazed with maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar.

Keep eggs as the main part of the meal, but prepare them without sweet sauces or ketchup containing added sugar.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, or avocado to increase fiber and make the meal more filling.

Avoid pairing the bacon and eggs with toast, hash browns, pancakes, sweetened coffee drinks, juice, or sugary condiments.

If you want a carbohydrate side, choose a modest portion of lentils, chickpeas, or steel-cut oats rather than refined breakfast breads or potatoes.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and consider checking whether a smaller, slower-paced meal improves your response.
