How to consume Air Popped White Popcorn without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit your portion size of air-popped white popcorn to a small bowl to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.
Protein Addition
Pair your popcorn snack with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a spoonful of Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a few olives. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Vegetable Pairing
Enjoy your popcorn with a side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or cherry tomatoes. These are low in carbs and can help buffer the sugar intake.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water with your popcorn. Staying hydrated can help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
Timing
Avoid eating popcorn on an empty stomach. Have it as part of a meal or shortly after a meal to mitigate rapid glucose spikes.
Physical Activity
Consider a light walk or some form of physical activity after consuming popcorn. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating popcorn and adjust your portion size and pairings accordingly in future instances.
Seasoning
Use herbs and spices instead of sugar or high-sodium toppings. For example, sprinkle some cinnamon or paprika for added flavor without added calories or sugars.
Consistent Meal Times
Maintain regular eating schedules to help your body better manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
