Roasted Broiled or Baked Chicken (Skin Not Eaten) (100 G)

Confirm the pattern by checking glucose before the meal and at intervals afterward; chicken without skin contains virtually no carbohydrate, so a drop may relate to meal timing, medication, exercise, or an individual protein response rather than the chicken itself.

Do not eat chicken alone if this is associated with a drop: pair it with a modest serving of lentils and non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or green beans.

Add a small amount of fat and fiber, such as avocado, walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, or olive oil, to slow digestion and support steadier post-meal glucose.

Keep the chicken portion moderate and distribute protein more evenly across meals instead of having a very large chicken-heavy meal after a long fast.

Choose plain, minimally seasoned preparations and check marinades, glazes, and sauces for added sugars; use herbs, lemon, vinegar, garlic, and spices instead.

If you have symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, confusion, or repeated low readings, discuss this with a clinician promptly—especially if you use insulin or other glucose-lowering medication.
