How to consume beef empanadas without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the number of empanadas you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in moderating glucose spikes.
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Accompany your beef empanada with a side of leafy green salad, such as spinach or kale. The fiber can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of nuts. Fats can slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Protein
Consume your empanada with a protein-rich food like grilled chicken or turkey slices to enhance satiety and help regulate blood sugar.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal, as it can help with digestion and prevent quick spikes in blood sugar.
Opt for Whole Grain Variants
If possible, choose empanadas made with whole grain or whole wheat flour, which typically digest slower than refined flour options.
Control Meal Timing
Eat your empanadas as part of a larger, balanced meal rather than as a stand-alone snack to moderate glucose absorption.
Engage in Light Activity
Take a short walk after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels through increased insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by muscles.
Add Vinegar
Include a small amount of vinegar-based dressing in your salad, as vinegar has been shown to help moderate blood sugar responses when consumed with meals.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming empanadas and adjust your portion size or accompaniments accordingly based on your observations.

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