How to consume Quinoa (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of quinoa you consume at one time to minimize the immediate impact on your blood sugar levels.
Pair with Protein
Combine quinoa with a protein source such as grilled chicken breast, tofu, or legumes to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts into your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add a generous serving of fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. These can help moderate the glucose spike by slowing digestion.
Include Whole Grains
Mix quinoa with other low-impact whole grains like barley or bulgur to create a balanced meal.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can assist in better digestion and glucose management.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, before your meal to improve your body’s glucose uptake.
Avoid Sugary Additions
Skip adding sugary condiments or dressings to your quinoa dish. Opt for spices and herbs for flavor instead.
Consistent Meal Timing
Try to eat at regular intervals to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day. Avoid long gaps between meals.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how quinoa affects you personally and adjust your intake accordingly.

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