Pita (1 piece)

Choose a smaller portion of pita, or split it across two meals instead of eating it all at once.

Pair pita with protein and fat, such as eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, or avocado, rather than eating it alone.

Add high-fiber fillings and sides such as hummus, lentils, chickpeas, leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and non-starchy vegetables.

Prefer a whole-wheat or high-fiber pita with minimal added sugar, and avoid sweet spreads or sugary drinks alongside it.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then have the pita as part of the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best for you.
