Reduce the serving size of the Portuguese tomato rice to limit your carbohydrate intake.

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu with your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil drizzle, or a handful of nuts to your meal.

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers which can help moderate glucose levels.

Hydrate with water before and during your meal, as this can help with digestion and glucose management.

If possible, substitute the rice with whole grains such as quinoa or barley.

Mix in beans like lentils or chickpeas, which are slower to digest and can help balance blood sugar levels.

Limit the amount of tomato sauce used if it contains added sugars. Opt for homemade sauce with no added sugar if possible.

Eat smaller, balanced meals more frequently rather than one large meal to avoid large glucose spikes.

Engage in a light walk or some form of physical activity after eating to help manage blood sugar levels efficiently.
