Nachos with Cheese and Jalapeno Peppers (1 Portion (6 8 Nachos))

Use cucumber rounds, bell-pepper strips, or roasted zucchini slices instead of most tortilla chips.

Keep the cheese and jalapeños, but add avocado or guacamole to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Add a protein topping such as grilled chicken, turkey, eggs, tofu, or lean beef, and reduce the chip portion.

Include a small serving of black beans or lentils rather than extra chips; avoid sweet sauces.

Eat a salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and an olive-oil-and-vinegar dressing before or alongside the nachos.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and use a smaller bowl or pre-portioned serving to avoid grazing.
