Fiskur (1 piece)

Choose plain, unbreaded fish prepared baked, grilled, or steamed; avoid sweet glazes, sugary sauces, and battered or fried preparations.

Pair the fish with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, or a leafy salad.

If you want a starch, keep the portion modest and choose lentils, chickpeas, beans, quinoa, or barley rather than white rice, fries, or mashed potatoes.

Use flavorings such as lemon, herbs, garlic, vinegar, mustard, or olive oil instead of ketchup, teriyaki, sweet chili sauce, or other sweetened condiments.

Avoid sugary drinks with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help soften the post-meal rise.
