Sponge Cake (1 Piece (1/12 Of 16 Oz Cake)) and Coffee with Milk (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Have the coffee with an unsweetened milk option and avoid adding sugar or flavored syrups.

Eat a small protein- and fat-containing snack first, such as plain Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds, before having the cake.

Reduce the sponge-cake portion and eat it slowly after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair the cake with fiber-rich berries, such as strawberries or raspberries, instead of sweet sauces, jam, or frosting.

Choose a less-sweet dessert alternative when possible, such as chia pudding made with unsweetened milk and berries.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the post-meal rise.
