Kamal - Mankoushe Zaatar (1 mankoushe)

Have a smaller portion—such as half a mankoushe—and avoid adding sweet drinks or desserts with the meal.

Pair it with protein, such as eggs, labneh, plain Greek yogurt, or grilled chicken, to slow digestion.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, peppers, or olives on the side.

Choose a whole-wheat or higher-fiber dough option if Kamal offers one; ask for a thinner crust and less added oil.

Eat slowly and start with the vegetables or protein before the mankoushe.

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