Dietitian’s tip

The lean tuna and swiss bring protein that balances the sweet potato's carbs, and the potato's fiber slows digestion. One potato is a full portion.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Bake the sweet potato ahead so dinner is just split, fill, and melt.
  • Dress the tuna with lemon instead of mayo to keep it light under the cheese.
