Bananas (1 Small (6 Inches To 6 7/8 Inches Long)) and Poha (1 Cup)

Reduce the banana portion to half a small, slightly firm banana, and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Have the banana with a protein or fat source such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of almonds.

Keep poha to a smaller serving and add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as peas, carrots, beans, capsicum, and spinach.

Add protein to poha, such as paneer, egg, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt on the side.

Choose minimally processed thick poha and avoid adding potatoes, sugar, sweet chutneys, or large amounts of sev.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after the meal and monitor which portion size keeps your rise smaller.
