Green Olives (1 10 Small)

Keep the olive portion modest and measure it out rather than grazing from the jar.

Eat olives as part of a balanced meal instead of alone, especially alongside protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, fish, or chicken.

Pair olives with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, leafy greens, bell peppers, or celery.

Avoid combining olives with refined crackers, white bread, chips, or sugary drinks, which are more likely to raise glucose.

Choose plain olives without sweetened marinades or added sugar; check labels for flavored or stuffed varieties.

Take a gentle 10–15 minute walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
