Corn On The Cob with Butter (1 Ear)

Keep the corn portion modest—such as one small ear or half a large ear—and avoid adding other starches like bread, potatoes, or sugary drinks at the same meal.

Eat the corn alongside protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, or plain Greek yogurt, rather than eating it by itself.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, leafy greens, zucchini, peppers, or a salad, to increase meal volume and fiber.

Use a moderate amount of butter and season with herbs, chili, garlic, lime, or black pepper instead of sweet sauces or flavored butters containing sugar.

Include a fiber-rich side such as lentils, chickpeas, or black beans in a modest serving, and reduce the corn portion accordingly.

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