Mixed Nuts, unsalted, 0.25 cup (1 serving)

Reduce the serving from 0.25 cup to 2–3 tablespoons, then reassess your glucose response.

Choose nuts with no added sugar, honey coating, dried fruit, or sweetened seasoning; check the label for hidden carbohydrates.

Eat the nuts as part of a meal rather than alone, especially alongside eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber or leafy greens.

Avoid combining the nuts with higher-carbohydrate foods or drinks, including juice, sweetened coffee drinks, crackers, or dried fruit.

Have a short 10–15 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.

Try a slower eating pace and measure the portion instead of eating directly from the bag to prevent an unplanned larger serving.
