How to consume Bulgur (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine bulgur with a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. Protein helps slow down carbohydrate absorption and reduces glucose spikes.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. Fats can moderate the rise in blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Integrate non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers. These add fiber and bulk, aiding in controlling blood sugar spikes.
Control Portion Size
Be mindful of the amount of bulgur you consume. Smaller portions can help manage the impact on your blood sugar.
Eat with Vinegar
Adding a small amount of vinegar to your meal, such as in a salad dressing, can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower the glucose response.
Choose Whole Grains
If you’re looking for variety, opt for other whole grains that have a similar nutritional profile but may have a different impact on your glucose levels, like quinoa or barley.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water before and during your meal can assist in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Space Out Carbs
Distribute your carbohydrate intake throughout the day instead of consuming a large amount in one sitting to avoid spikes.
Physical Activity Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating bulgur and adjust your meal combinations and portion sizes accordingly.

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