1. Breakfast:
- Oatmeal: Opt for plain, steel-cut oats or old-fashioned oats with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a handful of berries. The fiber in oats helps stabilize blood sugar.
- Greek Yogurt Parfait: Layer Greek yogurt with berries, nuts, and a drizzle of honey for a protein-rich and satisfying breakfast.
- Egg Scramble: Scramble eggs with spinach, tomatoes, and a touch of feta cheese for a protein-packed breakfast that provides lasting energy.
- Grilled Chicken Salad: Load up on leafy greens, veggies, and grilled chicken breast. Top with a vinaigrette dressing for a low-carb, high-protein meal.
- Quinoa Bowl: Mix cooked quinoa with roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and a tahini dressing for a fiber-rich, balanced lunch.
- Veggie Wrap: Wrap hummus, avocado, and a variety of veggies in a whole-grain tortilla for a satisfying, fiber-packed option.
- Apple with Peanut Butter: The combination of fiber in apples and healthy fats in peanut butter can keep blood sugar steady.
- Cottage Cheese and Berries: Cottage cheese provides protein, while berries offer natural sweetness and fiber.
- Carrot Sticks with Hummus: Carrots are low in carbs and pair well with protein-rich hummus.
- Baked Salmon: Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein. Serve with steamed broccoli and quinoa for a balanced meal.
- Stir-Fry: Use lean protein like tofu or chicken with plenty of non-starchy vegetables in a homemade stir-fry sauce. Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice.
- Zucchini Noodles: Swap regular pasta with zucchini noodles (zoodles) and top with a tomato-based sauce and lean ground turkey or lentil-based meatballs.
- Dark Chocolate: A small piece of dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) can satisfy sweet cravings without causing a significant spike in blood sugar.
- Yogurt with Berries: Choose plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a lower-sugar dessert option.
- Portion Control: Pay attention to portion sizes to avoid overeating, which can impact blood sugar levels.
- Fiber: Incorporate high-fiber foods like whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits into your meals.
- Protein: Include lean protein sources like poultry, fish, tofu, and beans to help stabilize blood sugar.
- Healthy Fats: Incorporate sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil for satiety and balanced energy.
