How to consume Popcorn without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair your popcorn with a protein-rich food such as a few slices of turkey or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small serving of cheese. These can also help moderate blood sugar levels.
Choose Air-Popped
Opt for air-popped popcorn rather than microwave or stovetop varieties that may have added sugars and fats.
Portion Control
Stick to a smaller portion size to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake from the popcorn.
Drink Water
Hydrate with a glass of water before eating popcorn to help you feel full faster and curb overeating.
Include Vegetables
Add a side of low-carb vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper sticks to your snack to increase fiber intake and help stabilize blood sugar.
Go for Whole Grains
When possible, choose whole-grain popcorn options that are higher in fiber.
Avoid Sugary Additions
Steer clear of flavored popcorn varieties that contain added sugars.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, savoring each bite, which can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Monitor Timing
Consider having popcorn as part of a balanced meal or as a mid-afternoon snack rather than late in the evening to give your body time to process it.
Exercise
Engage in a light activity, like a walk, after eating to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.
Add a Low-Sugar Fruit
Pair your popcorn with a small serving of berries to add more fiber without significantly increasing sugar intake.

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