Sweet Buns (Harvest Gold) (1 Serving)

Eat a protein- and fiber-rich meal first, such as eggs with non-starchy vegetables, before having any sweet bun.

Reduce the portion: have half a bun, eat it slowly, and avoid eating a second serving.

Pair the bun with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of nuts instead of eating it alone.

Choose a bun with less added sugar and more whole-grain or bran content when available.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Avoid sweet drinks, juice, or sugary coffee alongside the bun; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.
