Cracker Type Rice Cake (1 Mini Round (1 3/4 Inches Dia))

Reduce the portion: start with one rice cake rather than several, and avoid eating them on an empty stomach.

Pair a rice cake with protein and fat, such as natural peanut or almond butter, egg, tuna, or cheese, instead of eating it plain.

Add fiber-rich toppings or sides such as avocado, cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, lentils, or chickpeas.

Eat the rice cake as part of a balanced meal that includes protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats rather than as a stand-alone snack.

Choose denser, less processed alternatives when possible, such as hummus with vegetables, plain Greek yogurt with nuts, or a small serving of beans.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help blunt the rise.
