High Protein Bread (1 Slice)

Reduce the portion of high-protein bread, or have one slice instead of multiple slices, and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair the bread with protein and healthy fats such as eggs, avocado, cheese, plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Choose a high-protein bread with less added sugar and fewer net carbohydrates per serving; compare labels because products vary widely.

Add non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, leafy greens, cucumber, tomato, peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms.

Avoid sweet spreads and sugary drinks alongside the bread; use options such as avocado, egg, tuna, unsweetened nut butter, or hummus instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
