Home Town Buffet - Roasted Jerk Chicken Wing (1 grams)

Choose a smaller portion of the roasted jerk chicken wings, and remove some skin to reduce the meal’s fat load.

Ask for sauce or glaze on the side; jerk sauces can contain added sugar, so use a small amount or choose a less-sweet seasoning.

Pair the wings with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or a salad instead of fries, rolls, macaroni and cheese, or sugary sides.

If you need a more filling side, choose a modest serving of lentils, chickpeas, or beans rather than refined starches.

Avoid sweet tea, soda, juice, and alcohol with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating and monitor your glucose response so you can adjust portions next time.
