Cinnamon bun (1 piece)

Eat a smaller portion of the cinnamon bun, and avoid adding icing or a sugary drink alongside it.

Have it after a balanced meal containing protein and fiber, such as eggs with non-starchy vegetables or plain Greek yogurt with berries.

Add a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to help slow absorption.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating rather than remaining seated.

Choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee without sugar instead of juice, soda, or sweetened coffee drinks.

If possible, save part for later and eat it slowly, rather than having the full bun at once.
