Oatmeal Bread (1 Slice)

Choose a smaller portion of oatmeal bread and avoid eating it by itself.

Pair the bread with protein and healthy fat, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, avocado, cheese, tofu, or nut butter without added sugar.

Add high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, or leafy greens.

Choose a denser, seed-rich oatmeal bread with no added sugars; compare labels and favor more fiber per slice.

Avoid sweet spreads and sugary drinks with the bread; use avocado, hummus, or unsweetened nut butter instead.

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