Chicken (Breaded and Fried) (4 Pieces) and Potato French Fries (1 10 Strips (2 Inches To 3 1/2 Inches))

Reduce the portion of French fries substantially; replace part or all of them with a non-starchy vegetable side such as broccoli, green beans, salad greens, or cauliflower.

Choose grilled, baked, air-fried, or lightly breaded chicken instead of deep-fried chicken, and remove excess breading when practical.

Pair the meal with fiber-rich foods such as a leafy salad with vinegar-based dressing, lentils, chickpeas, or beans; keep added sweet sauces minimal.

Start the meal with vegetables or a small protein-rich appetizer, then eat the chicken before any fries to slow the rise in glucose.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweet tea, regular soda, and dessert with this meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
