McChicken (McDonald's) (1 Serving)

Order the McChicken without the bun, or eat only half the bun, to substantially reduce the fast-digesting carbohydrate portion.

Skip fries, sugary drinks, milkshakes, and dessert; choose water, unsweetened tea, or diet soda instead.

Add a side salad with non-sweet dressing and eat it before the sandwich to increase fiber and slow absorption.

If possible, choose grilled chicken rather than breaded/fried chicken, and add non-starchy vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or broccoli.

Have a smaller portion: split the sandwich, save half for later, or pair half with a salad rather than adding sides.

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