How to consume Chicken Salad without glucose spikes
Add More Fiber
Incorporate ingredients like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers into your chicken salad. These vegetables can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fat such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.
Opt for Whole Grains
If your chicken salad includes grains like rice or bread, choose whole grain options such as quinoa or whole grain bread to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Watch Portion Size
Be mindful of the portion size of the chicken salad to prevent overeating, which can lead to higher glucose spikes.
Combine with Protein
Ensure your chicken salad has an adequate amount of protein. Besides chicken, you can add eggs or a small amount of cheese to help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressing
Swap creamy dressings for vinegar-based ones, such as a simple olive oil and vinegar mix. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Eating slowly and chewing your food well can aid in digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Incorporate Legumes
Add some beans or lentils to your salad. These are rich in protein and fiber, providing a more sustained energy release.
Monitor Added Sugars
Check any additional ingredients like dressings or toppings for added sugars, which could contribute to glucose spikes. Use alternatives like fresh herbs or spices for flavor.

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