How to consume French Fries (Large), Mc Chicken without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of mixed salad greens or steamed vegetables such as broccoli or asparagus to your meal. The fiber content can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to your meal. This can stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, replace the McChicken bun with a whole grain or multigrain alternative to improve the nutritional profile of your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise for about 15-20 minutes after eating to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Consider eating a smaller portion of French fries and McChicken, and balance it with a larger portion of low-glycemic vegetables.

Include a Protein Source

Add a lean protein source, such as grilled chicken or fish, to your meal. Protein can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Choose a Low-Sugar Drink

Opt for water, unsweetened tea, or a low-sugar beverage instead of sugary drinks to avoid additional glucose spikes.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to eat slowly and savor your meal, which can help regulate your appetite and prevent overeating.
