Grilled Chicken (1 Serving (85g)) and Mixed Salad Greens (1 Cup, Shredded Or Chopped)

Choose plain grilled chicken and avoid sweet marinades, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or sugary glazes.

Use an unsweetened dressing such as olive oil with vinegar or lemon, and request dressing on the side.

Increase non-starchy salad vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli; limit croutons, tortilla strips, dried fruit, and sweetened nuts.

Add avocado, olives, or a small portion of nuts or seeds to slow digestion and make the meal more filling.

If adding a carbohydrate side, choose a modest portion of lentils, chickpeas, or beans instead of bread, fries, or sweet drinks.

Eat slowly and take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if appropriate for you.
