How to consume Pop corn without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume popcorn alongside a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts, a slice of cheese, or some Greek yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few olives to your popcorn snack. Fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Choose Air-Popped
Opt for air-popped popcorn instead of varieties cooked in oil or laden with butter. Air-popped popcorn typically has fewer additives and sugars.
Portion Control
Keep your popcorn servings small, around 3 cups per snack, to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once.
Drink Water
Drink a glass of water with your popcorn to help with digestion and reduce the concentration of glucose.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine your popcorn with fiber-rich foods like raw vegetables (carrot sticks, cucumber slices) or a small apple. Fiber can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Season Wisely
Season your popcorn with low-sugar and low-sodium options like a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, a dash of cinnamon, or a small amount of garlic powder instead of sugary or salty seasonings.
Eat Slowly
Take your time eating popcorn to give your body a chance to process the carbohydrates gradually, which can help minimize spikes.
Monitor Timing
Eat popcorn as part of a balanced meal or snack rather than on an empty stomach. This can help in managing blood sugar levels better.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after eating popcorn, to help your body manage glucose more efficiently.

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