Eating more protein is common advice for prediabetes, but protein is only one part of a balanced meal. What you pair it with can affect how satisfying the meal feels and how it supports your blood sugar.

In Episode 96 of Prediabetes and the Path to Better A1C, Jenny Pena shares five practical protein and fiber pairings you can use at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why protein and fiber work better together

• How to improve meals you already eat instead of starting over

• Ways to combine protein with whole grains, beans, vegetables, or fruit

• Why adding protein or fiber does not make carbohydrate portions irrelevant

• How to choose one combination and evaluate your hunger, cravings, energy, and individual blood sugar response
