Scrambled Egg Sandwich (1 Sandwich)

Use one thin slice of dense pumpernickel or 100% rye bread instead of two slices of standard sandwich bread.

Make it open-faced and add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, tomato, mushrooms, or avocado to increase volume and fiber.

Keep the scrambled eggs plain; avoid sugary sauces, ketchup, sweet relishes, and sweetened coffee drinks alongside the sandwich.

Add a side of plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds rather than chips, hash browns, or fruit juice.

Reduce the bread portion further by serving the eggs in lettuce cups or alongside a small pumpernickel toast.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the rise in glucose.
