Couscous (Cooked) (100 G)

Reduce the couscous portion and bulk the meal out with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, spinach, peppers, or cauliflower.

Pair couscous with a substantial protein source, such as chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, or Greek yogurt, rather than eating it on its own.

Add fiber-rich lower-impact foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans, replacing part of the couscous with them when possible.

Include a source of unsaturated fat, such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, or seeds, alongside the meal.

Eat vegetables and protein first, then have the couscous last to help slow the rise in glucose.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you.
