What's working

  • Diced chicken provides satiating protein.
  • Fats from the cheese help slow down stomach emptying.

Watch out for

  • Refined tortilla chips make up most of the volume.
  • Low in fiber relative to the amount of carbs.

Easy swaps

  • Half of the tortilla chips→Crispy bell pepper scoops

    Adds crunch, color, and fiber while lowering fast-acting carbs.

  • Just chicken topping→Chicken plus black beans

    Beans add soluble fiber to support steady glucose levels.

  • Extra cheese sauce→Fresh guacamole or salsa

    Guacamole adds healthy fats and fiber that aid satiety.
