Homemade - Grilled Ribeye Steak 6 28 14 (1 oz)

Check the full meal for hidden carbohydrate sources—especially barbecue sauce, marinades, steak seasoning with sugar, ketchup, bread, potatoes, and sweet drinks—and choose unsweetened or no-sugar-added seasonings.

Reduce the ribeye portion and pair it with a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, spinach, or a leafy salad.

Choose a leaner cut or trim visible fat; a very fatty ribeye can contribute to a later, more prolonged glucose rise for some people.

Start the meal with fiber-rich vegetables or a small serving of lentils to slow the overall meal response.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you.

Track your glucose for several hours after this meal, since steak-related rises can occur later than rises from carbohydrate-heavy foods.
