Coffee (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Mixed Nuts (1 Serving (28g))

Choose plain black coffee or coffee with unsweetened milk; avoid sugar, syrups, sweetened creamers, and flavored powders.

Keep mixed nuts to a measured small handful (about ¼ cup / 30 g), since larger portions can add substantial calories and carbohydrates.

Select nut mixes without candy, dried fruit, honey coating, or sweetened chocolate; favor almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or macadamias.

Have coffee and nuts after or alongside a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, especially if caffeine tends to raise your readings.

Try decaffeinated or half-caffeinated coffee for several days to see whether caffeine is contributing to the rise.

Add a brief 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-snack increase.
