Tips to Reduce Carb Impact
- Pair with protein/fat: Add cheese, nut butter, or avocado to slow digestion and lower glycemic response.
- Stick to 1 serving: Measure portions to avoid exceeding 20g carbs unintentionally.
- Choose high-fiber flavors: Varieties with 4g+ fiber (e.g., some whole-grain Triscuits) reduce net carbs.
- Avoid sugary toppings: Jam, honey, or sweet dips add 10g+ carbs per tablespoon.

- 5 Cracked Pepper Triscuits + 2 tbsp hummus: ~16g (Triscuits) + 6g (hummus) = 22g total.
