Cappuccino (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Butter or Sugar Cookie (1 Small (2 Inches Dia)(Include Pepperidge Farm Sugar, Bordeaux, Chessman, And Pirouette))

Choose an unsweetened cappuccino and avoid flavored syrups, sugar, whipped cream, and sweetened toppings.

Have the cookie only after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and fiber such as plain Greek yogurt, almonds, or chia seeds.

Reduce the cookie portion—for example, have half—and eat it slowly alongside a small handful of walnuts or almonds.

Replace a sugar cookie more often with a snack such as plain Greek yogurt with berries, an apple with almond butter, or chia pudding without added sugar.

If using butter, keep the portion modest and pair it with a fiber-rich option such as oatmeal or lentils rather than refined baked goods.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the cappuccino and cookie to help blunt the post-meal rise.
