How to consume portuguese tomato rice without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of the tomato rice. Smaller portions can help moderate the impact on your blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, with your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. Fats can slow digestion and help prevent spikes.
Include Non-Starchy Vegetables
Serve your tomato rice with a side of leafy greens or vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help balance your meal.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, prepare the rice using whole grain or brown rice instead of white rice to reduce the rapid impact on your blood sugar.
Monitor Cooking Time
Cook the rice al dente rather than very soft. Less cooked rice has a lower potential to spike your blood sugar.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as proper hydration can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, to your rice. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and moderate blood sugar spikes.
Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal. Exercise can help your body use glucose more effectively.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, to help prevent overeating.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
