Jasmine Rice (Cooked) (100 G), Ground Turkey (100 G), Rice Cakes - Cheddar Cheese (Quaker) (1 Serving) and Rice Cakes - BBQ (19 g) (Quaker) (1 Serving)

Reduce the portions of jasmine rice and rice cakes, and avoid eating both in the same meal; keep ground turkey and cheddar as the main components.

Replace jasmine rice with cooked barley, lentils, chickpeas, or black beans; these options generally produce a slower rise in glucose.

Replace rice cakes with a small serving of hummus with non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber, bell pepper, broccoli, or carrots.

Use a no-added-sugar barbecue sauce, or limit the 19 g barbecue sauce portion and add flavor with vinegar, mustard, spices, garlic, or hot sauce.

Add high-fiber vegetables to the meal, such as leafy greens, zucchini, mushrooms, green beans, or cauliflower, before or alongside the carbohydrate portion.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and monitor your response to identify the carbohydrate portion that works best for you.
