Most people with diabetes should eat 45-60 grams of carbohydrates at each meal. According to the American Diabetes Association and other sources, a dinner should include the following:
Grilled Salmon Korean BBQ Style: Eat 85 grams of salmon with 100 grams of brown rice and some steamed broccoli
Chicken Tenderloin with Sweet Potatoes: Enjoy about 3 ounces of lean chicken with roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry: Stir-fry 3 ounces of chicken breast with broccoli or Brussels sprouts and serve with baked potatoes or brown rice.
You can also add soluble fiber in the form of cereals or beans to your dinner. Adding soluble fiber, omega-3s, and lean protein to your diet while limiting saturated and trans fats can help stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol. At the same time, it helps you feel full and energized.
A diabetic diet should focus on avoiding foods high in carbohydrates, including baked goods, processed snacks, and starchy foods.
