How to consume broiled chicken fillet sandwich with lettuce, tomato and spread on whole wheat roll without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Ensure your whole wheat roll is made from 100% whole grains. This can help moderate blood sugar levels compared to refined flour options.

Add Fiber-Rich Veggies

Increase the amount of lettuce and tomato, and consider adding other low-carbohydrate vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers.

Opt for Healthy Spreads

Use spreads like hummus or avocado instead of higher sugar and fat options. These contain healthy fats and fiber.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your sandwich with a protein-rich side, such as a small serving of nuts or seeds, to slow down digestion and prevent spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a slice of avocado or a sprinkle of flax or chia seeds to your sandwich to add healthy fats, which can stabilize blood sugar levels.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion size of your sandwich and consider eating half if it’s large, complementing it with a side salad.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated helps in managing blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and help your body process the food more gradually.

Add a Side Salad

Enjoy a side salad with leafy greens and a vinegar-based dressing. This can add fiber and further delay the absorption of sugars.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating your sandwich as part of a balanced meal and avoid consuming it on an empty stomach, as this can lead to faster sugar absorption.
