Tow Chicks - Liquid egg whites, 300 gram (1 serving(s)), Pepperami Mini - Sausage Snack (1 snack), Kerrygold - Cheddar Cheese, 24g Slice = 96 Cal, 1 slice, 24g (1 serving(s)) and Coffee - Black Coffee, 1 cup (1 serving(s))

Try decaffeinated black coffee, half-caf, or a smaller coffee serving; caffeine can raise glucose for some people even without sugar.

Have the coffee after or alongside the egg whites and cheese rather than on an empty stomach, and avoid drinking it before the meal.

Replace the Pepperami mini with a less processed protein option such as a boiled egg, plain chicken or turkey, tofu, or salmon; this may reduce the impact of additives and improve satiety.

Add a small portion of high-fiber non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, cucumber, broccoli, or peppers, to the meal to slow absorption and blunt the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do light movement shortly after eating and drinking the coffee.

Test the same meal on separate days with regular coffee versus decaf to confirm whether caffeine, rather than the food combination, is driving the rise.
