Cheese Manakeesh - Cheese Manakeesh (1 serving)

Reduce the portion size of the cheese manakeesh; consider sharing one or saving half for later.

Choose a thinner, whole-grain or higher-fiber flatbread base when available, and ask for less added oil.

Pair it with a non-starchy vegetable salad such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, peppers, and olives; use lemon and olive oil dressing without sweet sauces.

Add a protein-rich side such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or grilled chicken to slow digestion and improve fullness.

Avoid pairing the meal with juice, sweetened coffee/tea, soda, or dessert; choose water or unsweetened drinks instead.

Take a relaxed 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
