How to consume Salad without glucose spikes
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add sources of healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a small amount of nuts and seeds to your salad. These can slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Choose Leafy Greens Wisely
Opt for leafy greens like spinach, kale, or arugula as the base of your salad. These are nutrient-dense and have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, hard-boiled eggs, or legumes like lentils or chickpeas. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Limit Sugary Dressings
Use dressings sparingly and opt for homemade vinaigrettes with lemon, vinegar, and olive oil instead of sweetened or creamy options.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, or broccoli. These are high in fiber and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Watch Portion Sizes
Be mindful of portion sizes, especially for toppings like croutons or cheese, which can add extra carbohydrates.
Include Whole Grains
If you want to add grains, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley. These have a more gradual effect on blood sugar compared to refined grains.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and savor your salad. Eating slowly can help prevent spikes in blood sugar by promoting better digestion and absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and might help regulate blood sugar levels.
Monitor Timing
Consider eating your salad as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to ensure a more even release of glucose into your bloodstream.

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