Boiled Egg (1 Large) and Watermelon (1 Cup, Diced)

Reduce the watermelon portion and eat it after, rather than before, the boiled egg; try a small bowl instead of a large serving.

Pair watermelon with protein and fat, such as an extra boiled egg, a small handful of almonds, or plain Greek yogurt without added sugar.

Add high-fiber vegetables to the meal, such as cucumber, leafy greens, tomatoes, or broccoli, before eating the watermelon.

Choose berries, cherries, apples, pears, or oranges more often when you want fruit, and keep portions moderate.

Avoid having watermelon alone or alongside juice, sweet drinks, white bread, or other refined carbohydrates.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
