Coffee with Milk and Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz)) and English Paneer Sandwich (1 Sandwich)

Replace sugar in coffee with stevia or monk-fruit sweetener, and choose unsweetened milk; cinnamon or vanilla can add flavor without added sugar.

Keep the coffee portion smaller and drink it with or after the sandwich rather than on an empty stomach.

Make the sandwich open-faced using dense pumpernickel or 100% rye bread, and use a generous paneer filling to reduce the bread-to-protein ratio.

Add high-fiber, non-starchy fillings such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, lettuce, bell pepper, or mushrooms to the paneer sandwich.

Avoid sweet spreads, ketchup, chutneys with added sugar, and sweetened sauces; use mint-coriander chutney without sugar, mustard, or lemon instead.

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