How to consume chili with beans (canned) without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu into your chili. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Increase Fiber
Include more high-fiber vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach in your chili. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Use Fresh Beans
Opt for fresh or dried beans that you soak and cook yourself instead of canned beans. Freshly cooked beans have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
Serve your chili with a small portion of brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice or refined grains. Whole grains are digested more slowly.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices, olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar.
Portion Control
Be mindful of portion sizes. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar.
Acidic Ingredients
Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your chili. Acidic foods can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in the overall management of blood sugar levels.
Slow Eating
Take your time to eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. This aids digestion and can prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Monitor Carbohydrate Intake
Be mindful of the total carbohydrate content of your meal. Consider reducing the amount of beans slightly and replacing them with lower carbohydrate vegetables.

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.
