Steamed Bun (1 Small)

Reduce the steamed-bun portion (for example, have half or one small bun) and avoid adding sweet fillings, condensed milk, or sugary drinks.

Eat the bun alongside protein such as eggs, tofu, plain Greek yogurt, or unsweetened soy milk to slow absorption.

Add a serving of non-starchy vegetables before or with the bun, such as broccoli, bok choy, spinach, mushrooms, or cucumber.

Include a small amount of healthy fat, such as avocado, nuts, seeds, or natural peanut butter without added sugar.

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

If possible, choose a smaller bun with a savory filling containing vegetables and protein rather than a large plain or sweet bun.
