Egg Omelet or Scrambled Egg (1 Large Egg) and Smoked Salmon (100 G)

Check for hidden carbohydrate sources: avoid sweetened smoked salmon, sugary marinades, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, and large amounts of milk or cream in the eggs; review labels for added sugar and starches.

Keep the meal simple: eggs, unsweetened smoked salmon, non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, peppers, or zucchini, and olive oil or avocado are less likely to add a meaningful glucose load.

If you eat bread, hash browns, fruit juice, or sweet coffee alongside the eggs, reduce or omit those items first; they are more likely to explain the rise than the eggs or salmon.

Try a smaller portion of smoked salmon and eggs, eat slowly, and avoid eating after a long fast if you notice larger post-meal rises in that setting.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if safe for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.

Repeat the meal on another day without sauces or side dishes and compare results; sensor timing, stress, poor sleep, illness, and normal measurement variation can also cause a small rise.
