Cupcakes with Frosting (Low Fat) (1 Cupcake)

Have a smaller portion—such as half a cupcake—and avoid a second serving.

Eat the cupcake after a meal containing protein and fiber, such as grilled chicken, lentils, or non-starchy vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or peanuts instead of sweet drinks or extra frosting.

Choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese alongside it if you want a more filling accompaniment.

Skip juice, soda, and sweetened coffee with the cupcake; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
