How to consume Quinoa Salad without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Keep an eye on the portion size of your quinoa salad to prevent excessive carbohydrate intake, which can lead to glucose spikes.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of lean protein to your quinoa salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Mix in healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds, which can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Enhance your salad with low-carb, high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, or cucumbers to increase the overall fiber content, which can help stabilize blood sugar.
Opt for Vinegar-based Dressings
Use dressings made with vinegar or lemon juice rather than sugary or creamy dressings to minimize added sugars and help control glucose levels.
Monitor Meal Timing
Eat smaller, balanced meals consistently throughout the day rather than consuming large meals to avoid sudden spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meals to assist with digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly, which can aid in digestion and slow down the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Consider Meal Pairing
Pair your quinoa salad with a small serving of a low-carb side, such as a green salad or steamed vegetables, to maintain a balanced meal.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after meals to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

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