Chicken or Turkey Chow Mein or Chop Suey with Noodles (1 Cup)

Choose chicken or turkey chow mein with a smaller portion of noodles and ask for extra non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, peppers, cabbage, or snow peas.

Prioritize the chicken or turkey and vegetables first, then eat the noodles slowly; stop when comfortably satisfied rather than finishing the full noodle portion.

Ask for the dish to be lightly sauced, with sauce on the side if possible, and avoid sweet sauces such as sweet-and-sour, hoisin-heavy, or sugary teriyaki-style sauces.

Choose chop suey with chicken or turkey and vegetables, using a modest serving of noodles or requesting no noodles and adding extra vegetables instead.

Add a side of edamame or a simple salad with a vinegar-based dressing before or alongside the meal to increase fiber and fullness.

Avoid sugary drinks with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea, and take a 10–20 minute walk after eating if appropriate for you.
