McSpicy Chicken Burger (McDonald's) (1 Serving)

Choose a single McSpicy Chicken Burger rather than adding fries, a sugary drink, or dessert; drink water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Eat a side salad with non-starchy vegetables (such as lettuce, cucumber, tomato, or peppers) before or alongside the burger, with dressing on the side.

If possible, remove the top half of the bun or eat an open-faced burger to reduce the refined-carbohydrate portion.

Avoid sweet sauces; use a small amount of mustard, hot sauce, or mayonnaise instead.

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

If you need a snack later, choose a small handful of nuts or plain Greek yogurt rather than cookies, chips, or sweetened drinks.
