How to consume Tuna Fish Salad without glucose spikes
Incorporate Leafy Greens
Add a variety of leafy greens like spinach or kale to your tuna fish salad. These greens not only add volume but also help slow down the digestion process, minimizing the spike.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates, contributing to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.
Include a High-Fiber Component
Toss in some chickpeas or lentils. They are rich in fiber and can help moderate the rise in glucose after meals.
Choose Whole Grain Options
If you enjoy your salad with bread or crackers, opt for whole grain versions to keep the glucose response in check.
Incorporate Nuts or Seeds
Sprinkle a handful of almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds into your salad. They add texture and help manage blood sugar levels.
Go Easy on the Dressings
Use dressings sparingly, focusing on those that are low in sugar and made from healthy oils, vinegar, or lemon juice.
Balance with Protein
While tuna is already a good protein source, consider adding hard-boiled eggs or tofu for additional protein to help balance your meal.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Pay attention to portion sizes of high-carb ingredients like pasta or potatoes if included in your salad, or try reducing them to keep glucose levels steady.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and potentially lessen the impact on blood sugar.
Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly
Taking your time to chew and savor each bite can aid digestion and help prevent rapid glucose spikes.

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