How to consume baked beans in tomato sauce without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of baked beans to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs in your meal. Protein can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or a small amount of olive oil. Fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Combine with Fiber-rich Foods

Eat baked beans with high-fiber foods like leafy greens, broccoli, or a salad. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Choose Low-carbohydrate Side Dishes

Opt for side dishes with lower carbohydrate content, such as sautéed vegetables or a small portion of quinoa.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues. This can prevent overeating and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to see how your body responds to baked beans and make adjustments as needed.

Cook at Home

If possible, prepare baked beans at home using low-sugar and low-sodium ingredients to have better control over the nutritional content.
