Homemade - Poha, 200 gm (1 serving(s))

Reduce the poha portion from 200 g to about 100–150 g, and avoid taking a second serving.

Add a substantial protein source to the meal, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt/curd, paneer, tofu, or unsweetened soy chunks.

Increase the volume with non-starchy vegetables in the poha—peas in a modest amount, spinach, capsicum, cabbage, beans, tomatoes, and carrots—while using less flattened rice.

Include a small serving of nuts or seeds, such as peanuts, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds, to slow absorption.

Cook poha with minimal oil and avoid adding sugar, sweet chutneys, potatoes, sev, or sugary beverages alongside it.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and avoid sitting continuously after the meal.
