How to consume Broccoli Salad without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein in your salad, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, to help slow down the digestion process.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado slices, a handful of nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil to your salad to further slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Fiber
Add fiber-rich ingredients such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, or a small portion of lentils to your salad to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Limit Sugary Dressings
Opt for a dressing with minimal added sugars. Consider making your own using ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil.
Mind the Portion Size
Keep an eye on the portion size of your salad to ensure you're not consuming excessive amounts that could lead to a spike.
Include Vinegar
A splash of vinegar, like apple cider or balsamic, can help moderate blood sugar response when included in your salad dressing.
Pair with Low-Carb Sides
If you're having the salad as part of a meal, pair it with a low-carb side such as a small serving of nuts or a boiled egg.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal, as eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar spikes.
Monitor and Adjust
Pay attention to how your body responds to the salad and adjust ingredients accordingly for future meals.

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