How to consume Chicken without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Whole Grains
If you're having a side dish, opt for quinoa, barley, or bulgur instead of white rice or potatoes. These options can moderate your blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Include sources of unsaturated fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a handful of nuts. These can help stabilize your blood sugar.
Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of the chicken you consume in one sitting. Eating smaller amounts more frequently can help avoid spikes.
Choose Lean Cuts
When selecting chicken, opt for lean cuts like chicken breast instead of darker meat, which might be prepared with higher-fat methods that could affect glucose levels.
Avoid Sugary Marinades
Use herbs, spices, and lemon juice for flavor instead of sweet sauces or marinades, which can contribute to higher sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help your body maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Include Protein from Other Sources
Complement your chicken with legumes like lentils or chickpeas. These provide additional protein and fiber, which can help keep glucose levels stable.
Monitor Cooking Methods
Prefer grilling, baking, or steaming your chicken instead of frying, as frying can lead to higher calorie consumption and potential glucose fluctuations.
Integrate Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating. Exercise helps your muscles use glucose more effectively, preventing spikes.

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