Protein Cookie (100 G)

Eat a smaller portion of the protein cookie, such as half at a time, and wait 1–2 hours before deciding whether to finish it.

Have the cookie after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat in the meal.

Pair it with a small serving of almonds, walnuts, or plain Greek yogurt to slow absorption.

Choose protein cookies with little or no added sugar, higher fiber, and minimal refined flour; compare total carbohydrates per serving, not just protein claims.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk shortly after eating the cookie, if appropriate for you.

Try replacing the cookie with a snack such as plain Greek yogurt with berries, cottage cheese with cucumber, or nuts when you want a lower-impact option.
