Roast Beef (1 Thin Slice (Approx 4 1/2 Inches X 2 1/2 Inches X 1/8 Inches))

Choose lean, unbreaded roast beef and avoid sweet glazes, barbecue sauce, gravy thickened with flour, or sugary condiments.

Keep the roast beef portion moderate and build the meal around non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans, spinach, asparagus, or a leafy salad.

Pair the meal with fiber-rich sides such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans in a modest portion instead of mashed potatoes, fries, white rolls, or stuffing.

Use vinegar- or lemon-based dressing and add healthy fats such as avocado, olives, or a small handful of nuts to help make the meal more balanced.

Skip sugary drinks; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea with the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
