How to consume Ham Sandwich With Spread without glucose spikes
Whole Grain Bread
Use whole grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread for your sandwich. Whole grain options have a slower release of sugars into the bloodstream.
Vegetable Addition
Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. These provide fiber and nutrients without causing a significant spike in blood sugar.
Healthy Spread Alternatives
Choose spreads like hummus or avocado instead of sugary or high-fat spreads. These alternatives are healthier and help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Lean Ham
Opt for lean, low-sodium ham to reduce the intake of unhealthy fats and sodium that can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.
Portion Control
Keep an eye on portion sizes. A smaller sandwich can help manage your carbohydrate intake and prevent large spikes in blood sugar.
Pair with Protein
Include a side of low-fat cheese or a handful of nuts. These proteins can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Balanced Meal
Pair your sandwich with a side salad or a bowl of vegetable soup. This adds fiber and additional nutrients, helping to balance your meal.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated helps your body process sugars more efficiently.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat. Eating slowly helps your body better manage the digestion and absorption of sugars, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.
Monitor Spreads
Be cautious with the quantity of spread you use. Even healthier spreads should be used in moderation to avoid unnecessary calories and fats.

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