Grilled Chicken Breast (1 Breast)

Choose an unseasoned grilled chicken breast and avoid sweet marinades, barbecue sauce, honey glazes, or sugary rubs; use lemon, herbs, garlic, pepper, or vinegar instead.

Pair the chicken with high-fiber non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, cauliflower, green beans, or a leafy salad.

Add a modest serving of healthy fat, such as avocado, olives, nuts, seeds, or olive-oil dressing, to help slow digestion.

If you include a starch, keep the portion small and choose options such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, quinoa, or steel-cut oats rather than refined bread, fries, or white rice.

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 your health and mobility.
