How to consume Tuna Salad With Egg without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of tuna salad you consume in one sitting. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate a variety of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumbers, or bell peppers into your tuna salad. These are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado or a small amount of olive oil to your salad. These fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help reduce glucose spikes.

Use Whole-Grain Bread

If you're serving the salad with bread, opt for a whole-grain option. Whole grains are digested more slowly, helping to keep blood sugar levels steady.

Include a Source of Protein

Add additional protein to your meal to slow the digestion process. You can include grilled chicken or tofu to complement the protein already present in the tuna and egg.

Add Nuts or Seeds

Sprinkle a small amount of nuts like almonds or seeds such as chia or flaxseeds onto your salad. These are good sources of fiber and healthy fats.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and support metabolic processes.

Avoid Sugary Dressings

Use simple dressings like lemon juice or balsamic vinegar instead of those high in sugar to avoid spikes in blood sugar.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals throughout the day. Consistent meal timing can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating your meal. This can help your body use glucose more efficiently.
