Diabetic Diet Sample Meal And Food The ideal diabetic meal will consist of a combination of foods. Some foods cross categories, like bread products that are high in fat, dairy items that provide protein, and starchy vegetables. Our needs will vary depending on the time of day and how much physical activity we engage in. Following is a sample diabetic diet meal : One serving of protein (3 oz of chicken, lean beef or fish) One serving of bread (whole grain roll, tortilla or ½ cup pasta) One serving of dairy (cheese, milk or low-fat sour cream) One serving vegetables (fist sized portion or a small bowl of salad) One serving fruit (tennis ball sized or ½ cup sliced) Small amounts of unsaturated fats are needed, so add a little dressing or a pat of soft margarine. Avoid sweets; consider the fruit your dessert! Foods that should be avoided include; fatty red meat, organ meat, highly processed food, fried food, fast food, high cholesterol food and foods rich in saturated fat.
