How to consume Burrito With Chicken And Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the burrito. Opt for a smaller burrito or eat only half to manage the glucose response better.

Whole Grain Alternatives

Choose a whole-grain or corn tortilla instead of a white flour tortilla. Whole grains have a more gradual effect on blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Content

Add beans or lentils to your burrito filling. These foods are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or a sprinkle of seeds like chia or flaxseeds. These fats can help slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Lean Protein

Ensure the chicken is grilled rather than fried, as grilled chicken has less fat and won't cause as much of a spike in blood sugar.

Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes to your burrito. This adds volume and nutrients without significantly impacting blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat the burrito slowly. Chewing thoroughly can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meal

Pair your burrito with a small salad or a side of steamed vegetables to balance the meal and add more fiber and nutrients.

Hydration

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal, as staying hydrated can help with digestion and regulate blood sugar.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. This can help muscles use glucose more efficiently, reducing blood sugar spikes.
