Falafel (1 Patty (Approx 2 1/4 Inches Dia)) and Potato French Fries (1 10 Strips (2 Inches To 3 1/2 Inches))

Reduce the fries portion or replace part of it with a non-starchy salad such as leafy greens, cucumber, tomato, and herbs; use a lemon-and-olive-oil dressing.

Choose baked or air-fried potato wedges instead of deep-fried French fries, and keep the serving small.

Pair falafel with a higher-fiber wrap alternative such as a small whole-grain pita, or skip the pita and serve it over salad.

Add protein and fat to the meal, such as plain Greek yogurt tahini sauce, hummus, or a small portion of avocado, while keeping sauces unsweetened.

Eat the salad and protein components first, then falafel, and have the fries last rather than starting with them.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
