How to consume Cooked Dry Chickpeas without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs when you eat cooked dry chickpeas. This slows down carbohydrate absorption and helps control blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. These fats can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates, reducing the glucose spike.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your chickpea dish. Fiber slows down glucose absorption, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Keep an eye on portion sizes. Even healthy foods can cause spikes in blood sugar if consumed in large quantities.
Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your chickpeas. Acidic foods can slow the rate at which your stomach empties, leading to a slower release of glucose.
Choose Whole Grains
If you are pairing chickpeas with grains, use whole grains like quinoa, barley, or brown rice. These options are digested more slowly than refined grains.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration helps your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Monitor Timing
Consider the timing of your meal. Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can help keep blood sugar levels stable.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Exercise helps your muscles use glucose and can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Prepare Chickpeas Differently
Try different cooking methods, such as roasting or blending into a hummus with additional fiber-rich ingredients. This can alter the rate at which your body processes the carbohydrates.

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.
