Egg Omelet (1 Large)

Check the omelet recipe for hidden carbohydrate sources such as milk, flour, potato, sweet sauces, ketchup, or large amounts of onion; reduce or replace these where possible.

Build the omelet around low-starch vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, and bell peppers rather than potatoes or toast.

Keep cheese and processed meat portions moderate, and choose minimally processed fillings to avoid added sugars and refined starches.

Pair the omelet with avocado or a small portion of nuts instead of bread, hash browns, or sweet breakfast items.

Reduce the overall portion size if the omelet is large, especially if it contains multiple high-calorie fillings, and eat slowly.

Take a brief easy walk after the meal and compare your glucose response across different omelet ingredients to identify the specific trigger.
