Chicken momo (1 piece)

Choose steamed chicken momos instead of fried momos, and keep the portion moderate (for example, 4–6 pieces rather than a large plate).

Eat the momos with a generous side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, or bell peppers.

Start with a protein- and fiber-rich appetizer such as a small bowl of lentil soup or unsweetened plain yogurt before the momos.

Skip sugary drinks, sweetened tea, and dessert with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Use a small amount of chili, tomato, or vinegar-based dipping sauce, and avoid sweet sauces or large amounts of sugary ketchup.

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