How to consume Burrito With Chicken, Beans And Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the size of the burrito to reduce carbohydrate intake. Consider eating half a burrito and saving the rest for later.

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes into the burrito. These add fiber and nutrients, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain or Low-Carb Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or low-carb tortillas as they contain more fiber than regular flour tortillas.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a small amount of nuts or seeds to the burrito. Healthy fats can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Balance Your Meal

Pair the burrito with a side salad or a small portion of quinoa, which can help balance the meal and reduce glucose spikes.

Consider Bean Types

Use black beans or lentils instead of refried beans, as they may have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Hydrate

Drink water with your meal instead of sugary drinks, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew each bite well, which aids in digestion and can help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating and adjust the ingredients in your burrito accordingly in future meals.
