Brown Bread (1 Regular Slice) and Egg Omelet or Scrambled Egg with Cheese (1 Large Egg)

Reduce the bread portion to one thin slice, and eat the omelet or scrambled eggs first rather than starting with bread.

Swap brown bread for dense pumpernickel or 100% rye sourdough bread; choose a product with no added sugar and substantial whole grains.

Add non-starchy vegetables to the eggs, such as spinach, mushrooms, peppers, or tomatoes, to increase fiber and volume without adding many rapidly absorbed carbohydrates.

Include avocado, olives, or a small amount of nuts or seeds alongside the meal to slow digestion and improve fullness.

Avoid sweet spreads, jam, honey, sweetened sauces, and sugary drinks with the meal; choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, which can help reduce the post-meal rise.
