Burrito with Chicken (1 Small Burrito)

Choose a smaller burrito or eat half and save the rest; prioritize grilled chicken, beans, lettuce, salsa, and non-starchy vegetables over extra rice or a large tortilla.

Ask for no rice or light brown rice, and skip chips; add black beans or pinto beans for more fiber and protein.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweet tea, and juice with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Skip high-sugar additions such as sweet sauces, honey-based dressings, and large portions of corn salsa; use pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa, or hot sauce instead.

Add avocado or guacamole in a moderate portion to help slow digestion, while keeping sour cream and cheese portions modest.

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