How to consume Boiled Egg, Poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Add a side of vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or a small salad. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as a small portion of avocado or a teaspoon of flaxseeds. These can help moderate the rate at which your body processes carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a whole grain version of poha, or mix in a small amount of quinoa or barley. Whole grains take longer to digest and thus help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Consider adding a small serving of lean proteins like grilled chicken or a handful of chickpeas to your meal. Protein can help blunt the rise in blood sugar.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reducing the portion size of poha can help manage the overall carbohydrate intake and hence the blood sugar spike.
Combine with Nuts
Sprinkle a few almonds or walnuts over your poha. Nuts are known for their stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels.
Drink Water
Consuming a glass of water before your meal can help you feel fuller and may help in better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Stay Active
A short walk or light physical activity after your meal can help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.
Avoid Added Sugars
Make sure your poha is not cooked with added sugars or sweet accompaniments. Keep it savory to minimize sugar spikes.
Monitor Your Meal Timing
Sometimes spreading your carbohydrate intake throughout the day instead of eating it all at once can help manage glucose levels better.

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