How to consume Plant Protein without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate high-fiber vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, and kale when consuming plant-based proteins. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar.
Include Healthy Fats
Add sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and seeds to your meals. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.
Choose Low-Carb Plant Proteins
Opt for lower-carb plant proteins like tofu, tempeh, and seitan, which are less likely to cause a spike.
Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals
Instead of large meals, try eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day to ensure a steadier glucose level.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day as it helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Combine with Whole Grains
If you are adding grains, choose whole grains such as quinoa, barley, and bulgur which are slower to digest and absorb.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion sizes of plant-based proteins. Eating too much at once can lead to a rise in glucose levels.
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Including a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice in your meals can help to lower blood sugar spikes.
Exercise Regularly
Engage in regular physical activity like walking or light exercise after meals to help manage your glucose levels.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of how different plant proteins affect your glucose levels and adjust your diet accordingly.

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