How to consume Cooked Dry Chickpeas without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair cooked dry chickpeas with a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts to your chickpea dish to improve satiety and modulate glucose response.
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal. These vegetables are high in fiber and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Reduce the serving size of the cooked dry chickpeas to minimize the overall glucose spike. Consider using them as a topping or side dish rather than the main component of your meal.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day and with your meals, as proper hydration can aid in glucose regulation.
Use Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your chickpea dish. The acidity can help lower the spike in blood sugar levels after eating.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and enjoy your food. Eating slowly can help control the speed at which glucose enters your bloodstream.
Whole Grains
If you’re combining chickpeas with grains, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley rather than refined grains. These have a more moderate effect on blood sugar.
Spice it Up
Include spices like cinnamon or turmeric in your cooking. These spices have been shown to have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.
Exercise Regularly
Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine, as exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

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.
