Chicken (100 G) and Mixed Salad Greens (1 Cup, Shredded Or Chopped)

Check the salad dressing, marinades, and toppings for added sugar; choose olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, or an unsweetened yogurt-based dressing instead.

Keep chicken grilled, baked, or roasted rather than breaded or coated in sweet sauces.

Add avocado, olives, nuts, or seeds to the salad to slow digestion and increase satiety.

Increase non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, or leafy greens, and limit croutons, sweet dried fruit, and sugary dressings.

If you want a carbohydrate addition, use a small portion of lentils or chickpeas instead of white bread, fries, or sweetened beverages.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after the meal and avoid eating the salad as part of a larger high-carbohydrate meal.
