How to consume Mc Chicken without glucose spikes

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and savor your McChicken. Eating slowly can help moderate your body's response to the meal.

Hydrate

Drink a glass of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and prevent large spikes in blood sugar.

Add Fiber

Include a small salad or a serving of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or carrots. These foods can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your meal with a small serving of nuts or avocado. Healthy fats can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Add a side dish high in protein, like a hard-boiled egg or a small piece of grilled chicken, to help balance the meal's impact on your glucose levels.

Move After Eating

Take a short walk or do light exercises after your meal to help your body process the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Portion Size

Consider eating only part of the McChicken and supplementing with healthier side options to manage the total carbohydrate intake.

Choose a Whole Grain Alternative

If possible, opt for a whole-grain bun or wrap for your chicken sandwich to increase fiber content and reduce the spike.

Limit Sugary Drinks

Avoid soft drinks or other high-sugar beverages with your meal, which can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Practice Mindfulness

Focus on your eating experience without distractions to help your body and mind recognize fullness and satisfaction more effectively.
