PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MICRO PORTIONS

Measure 2–3 oz fresh pineapple and log 7–10g net carbs; enjoy as a rare treat.

GRILLED TOPPING

Grill a few small chunks to top Pork Chops or Ham; keep fruit minimal per serving.

DIGESTIVE AID

Have a tiny portion after a protein-heavy meal to leverage bromelain for digestion.

STIR-FRY ACCENT

Add 1–2 oz at the end of cooking with Shrimp, Tamari, and low-carb veg to keep carbs down.

SPECIAL OCCASION TREAT

Reserve for cyclical carb days or events; pre-portion to avoid mindless snacking.
