Hot and Crispy Chicken (KFC) (1 Serving)

Choose a smaller portion of chicken and remove some of the crispy breading where practical to reduce the fast-digesting coating.

Pair the chicken with a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans, salad greens, cucumber, or peppers instead of fries, biscuits, or sweet sides.

Avoid sugary dipping sauces and sweet drinks; use water, unsweetened tea, hot sauce, mustard, or a vinegar-based sauce instead.

Eat the vegetables first, then the chicken, and take your time rather than eating the meal quickly.

Add a modest portion of beans or lentils if you need a more filling side, while reducing other starches in the meal.

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