Hakk og spagetti (1 piece)

Choose a smaller portion of spaghetti and increase the proportion of minced meat and non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, or a leafy salad.

Use al dente whole-grain spaghetti or lentil-based pasta instead of regular soft-cooked spaghetti.

Make the sauce richer in protein and fiber: use lean minced meat, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and vegetables; avoid added sugar in sauces.

Start the meal with a salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar, then eat the meat and vegetables before the pasta.

Avoid bread, sugary drinks, juice, and dessert alongside the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating to help reduce the rise.
