Lasagna (1 piece)

Reduce the lasagna portion and pair it with a large salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette rather than bread or garlic toast.

Choose a lasagna made with whole-grain or legume-based noodles, extra vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, or eggplant, and a generous protein filling.

Include a protein-rich side such as grilled chicken, turkey, tofu, or fish to slow digestion and reduce the meal’s glucose impact.

Add fiber-rich low-starch vegetables before or alongside the lasagna, such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or roasted Brussels sprouts.

Avoid sugary drinks, juice, and desserts with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
