Toasted Egg Bread (1 Slice (5 Inches X 3 Inches X 1/2 Inches))

Reduce the serving size of toasted egg bread, such as having one slice instead of two, and avoid adding sweet spreads.

Choose a dense 100% rye or pumpernickel bread for the toast; check the product nutrition information because recipes vary.

Pair the toast with protein and fat, such as eggs, avocado, or plain Greek yogurt, rather than eating it alone.

Add non-starchy vegetables alongside it, such as spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, or cucumber, to increase fiber and slow absorption.

Avoid fruit juice, sweetened coffee drinks, jam, honey, and other sugary items with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion and bread type you tolerate best.
