Yellow Corn (100 G)

Reduce the corn portion and avoid eating it by itself; start with a smaller serving and assess your response.

Pair yellow corn with protein and fat, such as eggs, grilled chicken, tofu, plain Greek yogurt, avocado, or nuts.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.

Choose whole or minimally processed corn, such as corn on the cob, rather than sweetened corn products, corn chips, or finely milled corn foods.

Include fiber-rich foods alongside the corn, such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, or other beans, while keeping the corn serving modest.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and avoid pairing corn with sugary drinks or desserts.
