French Fries (In Vegetable Oil) (1 Large)

Reduce the fries portion and avoid supersizing; choose a small serving and eat slowly.

Pair fries with protein such as grilled chicken, eggs, fish, tofu, or tempeh rather than eating them alone.

Add a high-fiber side such as a leafy salad, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, or lentils; use a low-sugar dressing.

Eat the protein and vegetables before the fries to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Choose thicker-cut, oven-baked or air-fried potatoes with minimal added oil when possible, and avoid sugary sauces.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
