Won Ton Soup (Wonton) (1 Cup)

Choose a smaller wonton portion and skip noodles, fried wontons, and crispy toppings; these can substantially raise the meal’s carbohydrate load.

Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables such as bok choy, spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, or cabbage in the soup.

Add or prioritize protein, such as plain chicken, shrimp, tofu, or egg, and eat it before the wontons.

Choose a clear, non-sweet broth and avoid sauces or condiments containing sugar, hoisin, sweet chili sauce, or large amounts of thickened sauce.

Pair the meal with a side salad or steamed vegetables dressed with vinegar or lemon rather than sweet dressings.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
