Prawns (100 G)

Check the preparation: choose grilled, steamed, baked, or stir-fried prawns without breading, sweet chili sauce, honey glazes, sugary marinades, or sweetened dips.

Keep the prawn meal lower in rapidly absorbed starches; reduce or skip items such as white rice, fries, bread, noodles, crackers, and sugary drinks that may be driving the rise.

Pair prawns with high-fiber vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, green beans, or a leafy salad with olive oil and vinegar.

If you want a starch alongside prawns, use a modest portion of lentils, chickpeas, or beans instead of refined grains or potatoes.

Eat the vegetables and protein first, then any carbohydrate portion last, and avoid large portions late at night.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after the meal and compare your readings after different prawn preparations to identify your personal trigger.
