Egg - - Boiled (1 egg)

Choose plain boiled eggs without sweet sauces, ketchup, honey, or sugary marinades; check seasonings and condiments for added sugar.

Pair the egg with high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cucumber, or leafy salad rather than bread, potatoes, or sweet fruit.

If eating eggs with carbohydrates, keep the carbohydrate portion modest and choose options such as lentils, chickpeas, or steel-cut oats instead of refined grains.

Add a small amount of unsweetened Greek yogurt, avocado, nuts, or seeds to make the meal more filling and slow digestion.

Avoid drinking juice, sweetened coffee, soda, or other sugary beverages around the meal; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

If the rise reliably occurs after plain eggs alone, review glucose-monitor timing and discuss the pattern with a clinician, as the response may be related to factors beyond the egg itself.
