Lentils (Sprouted, with Salt, Stir-Fried, Cooked) (100 G)

Reduce the lentil portion and add more non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, zucchini, or mushrooms.

Pair the lentils with protein such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, or plain Greek yogurt to slow digestion.

Include a small amount of fat, such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, or seeds, rather than increasing the lentil serving.

Avoid adding sweet sauces, sugar, honey, or large amounts of starchy sides such as rice, bread, or potatoes to the meal.

Eat the lentils after vegetables and protein rather than starting the meal with lentils alone.

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