How to consume Chicken Or Turkey Parmigiana without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale to your meal. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small serving of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you’re serving your parmigiana with a side of pasta, choose whole grain or legume-based pasta options, which are slower to digest.
Choose Low-Carb Alternatives
Substitute traditional pasta with alternatives like zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash which are lower in carbohydrates.
Drink Water Before Eating
Drinking a glass of water before your meal can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount of food you consume, thereby moderating glucose spikes.
Control Portion Size
Be mindful of your portion sizes, especially with the breaded and fried components of the dish. Smaller portions can lead to a smaller glucose spike.
Add a Side Salad
Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and bell peppers with a light vinaigrette dressing. This can help fill you up and reduce the impact of carbohydrates.
Use Whole Grain Breadcrumbs
If you’re preparing the dish yourself, opt for whole grain breadcrumbs for the breading, which can provide more fiber.
Limit Sauce Quantity
Use a moderate amount of tomato sauce, and choose one with no added sugars. Homemade tomato sauce is often a better option.
Stay Physically Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
