Cooked Fish (1 Fillet (6 1/4 Inches X 3 Inches X 3/8 Inches))

Choose plain grilled, baked, poached, or steamed fish; avoid breading, batter, sweet glazes, teriyaki sauce, honey, and sugary marinades.

Check the full meal rather than the fish alone: sauces, rice, potatoes, fries, bread, and sweet drinks are more likely contributors to a rise.

Pair fish with high-fiber non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, asparagus, cauliflower, or leafy salad.

If you include a starch, keep the portion modest and choose options such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, or quinoa instead of refined grains or white potatoes.

Add unsweetened healthy fats and fiber to slow the meal’s absorption, for example olive oil dressing, avocado, nuts, or seeds.

Repeat the meal on a different day with plain fish and no carbohydrate-containing sides or sauces; if the pattern persists, review timing, portion size, and sensor readings with a clinician.
