Marie Biscuits (Britannia) (1 Serving) and Black Tea (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Keep the black tea unsweetened; avoid adding sugar, honey, flavored creamers, or sweetened milk.

Reduce the number of Marie biscuits, and avoid eating them alone on an empty stomach.

Have the biscuits only after a balanced meal rather than as a stand-alone snack.

Pair a smaller biscuit portion with protein or fat, such as a boiled egg, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or plain Greek yogurt.

Replace Marie biscuits more often with lower-impact snacks such as roasted chickpeas, nuts, seeds, or cheese cubes.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after tea and snacks to help limit the rise.
