Tomatoes (1 Medium Whole (2 3/5 Inches Dia))

Keep the tomato portion smaller and spread it across meals instead of eating a large amount at once.

Eat tomatoes as part of a balanced meal with protein and healthy fat, such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, avocado, cheese, or plain Greek yogurt.

Add fiber-rich low-starch vegetables alongside tomatoes, such as leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or peppers.

Avoid tomato juice, sweetened tomato sauces, ketchup, and other processed tomato products, which can be more concentrated or contain added sugars.

Choose whole, fresh tomatoes rather than blended or cooked-down tomato products when possible.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal to help reduce the post-meal rise.
