How to consume chili with beans (canned) without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein
Add lean protein sources like grilled chicken or turkey to your chili to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Top your chili with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sprinkle some avocado slices to add healthy fats that can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Vegetables
Increase the fiber content by adding more non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini to your chili. This can help slow the digestion process.
Reduce Portion Size
Consider eating a smaller serving of chili to minimize the spike in blood sugar, and balance it with other low-glycemic dishes.
Pair with a Green Salad
Accompany your meal with a salad made of leafy greens, cucumber, and tomatoes to add fiber and volume to your meal without significantly impacting blood sugar.
Opt for Whole Grain Sides
If you like having a side dish, choose whole grain options like quinoa or barley, which can have a gentler impact on blood sugar compared to refined grains.
Drink Plenty of Water
Adequate hydration can help with digestion and manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can aid in better digestion and prevent overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.
Use Fresh Beans
If possible, use fresh beans instead of canned ones, as they often contain less sodium and preservatives, which might impact blood sugar differently.
Monitor Ingredients in Canned Beans
Choose canned beans that have no added sugar or opt for low-sodium versions to reduce any unnecessary additives that might affect your blood sugar levels.

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