lunch (1 serving(s)) and Mango (1 Mango)

Keep mango to a small portion (about ½ cup diced) and avoid adding mango juice, dried mango, or sweetened toppings.

Eat mango after a balanced lunch rather than on an empty stomach, alongside protein such as eggs, grilled chicken, tofu, fish, or lentils.

Pair mango with fiber- and fat-rich options such as chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, or plain Greek yogurt.

Add non-starchy vegetables to lunch first, such as leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, peppers, or salad, then have the mango afterward.

Choose firm, less-ripe mango rather than very soft, overripe mango, and eat the whole fruit rather than blended or juiced forms.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after lunch to help reduce the post-meal rise.
