Poha with Sev (1 piece)

Reduce the poha portion and increase protein: add paneer, tofu, boiled egg, or plain Greek yogurt/curd alongside it.

Skip or sharply limit sev; use roasted chana, peanuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds for crunch instead.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the poha, such as peas, carrots, beans, capsicum, cabbage, spinach, or cauliflower.

Eat the poha after a vegetable/protein starter, such as cucumber-tomato salad with curd or a small bowl of sprouts.

Choose less processed, thicker poha and avoid adding sugar, sweet chutneys, or potato.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you.
