Croissant with Egg, Cheese and Ham (1 Croissant)

Eat half the croissant sandwich and save the remainder for later; add a side of leafy greens, cucumber, or tomatoes.

Choose an open-faced version with one half of the croissant, extra egg, ham, and cheese to reduce the refined pastry portion.

Add avocado or a small handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts alongside the meal for more fiber and fat.

Avoid pairing it with juice, sweetened coffee drinks, soda, jam, or pastries; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

Eat the egg, ham, cheese, and any vegetables first, then the croissant portion more slowly.

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