Butter Croissants (1 Croissant, Medium) and Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Have a smaller portion: eat half a butter croissant rather than a whole one, and avoid having a second pastry.

Remove the sugar from tea; use cinnamon, vanilla, or a non-caloric sweetener such as stevia instead.

Pair the croissant with protein and fat, such as boiled eggs, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds, rather than eating it alone.

Add fiber-rich, non-starchy vegetables alongside breakfast, such as spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, or peppers.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then the croissant, and eat slowly over 15–20 minutes.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe and practical for you.
