Plain Waffle (1 Belgian Waffle (3 Inches X 2 7/8 Inches X 1 1/8 Inches))

Have a smaller portion of the plain waffle and avoid syrup, jam, honey, or powdered sugar.

Pair the waffle with protein such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or tofu to slow the rise.

Add fiber-rich sides such as berries, an apple with skin, or chia seeds rather than sweet toppings.

Choose a waffle made with oat flour, buckwheat, or other higher-fiber whole-grain ingredients when possible.

Eat the protein and fiber-containing foods first, then have the waffle as part of the meal rather than alone.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you.
