Cooked Green Cabbage (Fat Added in Cooking) (1 Cup)

Reduce the cabbage portion and eat it alongside a protein such as eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, or tempeh.

Use a modest amount of added fat—such as olive oil or avocado oil—rather than a large amount, and avoid sweetened sauces or glazes.

Add a high-fiber side such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans in a moderate portion to slow digestion.

Start the meal with a salad or other non-starchy vegetables, then eat the cabbage with the main protein rather than on its own.

Avoid pairing the cabbage with rapidly absorbed starches such as white bread, mashed potatoes, or sugary drinks.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
