How to consume Chicken, Quinoa without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of quinoa in your meal. This can help moderate the carbohydrate load, which in turn can reduce the spike in your glucose levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Incorporate more fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale. Fiber can slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts like almonds and walnuts to your meal. Fats can slow down the digestion process and help prevent sudden glucose spikes.
Opt for Whole Quinoa
Sometimes quinoa can be processed in a way that increases its impact on blood sugar. Ensure you are using whole quinoa, not the processed or pre-cooked versions.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Hydration can assist in maintaining stable glucose levels.
Combine with Protein
Ensure that your chicken is lean and well-cooked, and consider adding other sources of lean protein like tofu or fish to balance your meal further.
Meal Timing
Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones. This can help keep your blood sugar levels more stable throughout the day.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engaging in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity, which can mitigate a glucose spike.
Consider Vinegar
Adding a splash of vinegar (e.g., apple cider vinegar) to your meal can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower the post-meal glucose spike.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep a log of your meals and how they affect your glucose levels. Over time, you can identify patterns and make more informed adjustments to your diet and meal composition.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
