Italian Flatbread Focaccia (1 Slice)

Choose a smaller portion of focaccia and avoid having extra bread, pizza, pasta, or dessert in the same meal.

Eat the focaccia alongside protein such as grilled chicken, eggs, tuna, tofu, or cheese rather than eating it alone.

Add a large serving of non-starchy vegetables, such as leafy salad, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, or mushrooms, with olive oil and vinegar.

Prefer focaccia topped with vegetables, herbs, olives, or cheese; avoid sweet glazes, honey, sugary sauces, and refined-flour-heavy toppings.

Eat slowly and begin the meal with vegetables and protein before the focaccia.

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