Hamburger (Double Patty) (1 Sandwich)

Order the double patty wrapped in lettuce or on an open-faced bun; skip the top bun to reduce the fast-digesting carbohydrate load.

Avoid fries, sugary drinks, milkshakes, and sweet sauces; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Add a side salad or non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans, or cucumber, with a low-sugar dressing.

Choose mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, or cheese instead of ketchup, barbecue sauce, or other sweet condiments.

Eat the burger more slowly and consider starting with the salad or vegetables before the bun portion.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe for you; monitor your glucose response to identify the portion and toppings that work best.
