Fried Egg (1 Large) and Americano Coffee (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Have the Americano unsweetened; avoid sugar, syrups, sweetened creamers, and flavored milk additions.

Try decaf or half-caf Americano, especially if caffeine tends to raise your readings; caffeine can increase glucose in some people.

Eat the fried egg with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, or peppers to add fiber and volume.

Use a small amount of olive oil or avocado oil for frying rather than breading the egg or pairing it with sweet sauces.

If you need a starch alongside the egg, choose a modest portion of steel-cut oats or lentils rather than white toast or pastries.

Check your response by having coffee and the egg separately on different days; this can help identify whether the caffeine, a hidden add-in, or the meal timing is driving the spike.
