How to consume Salad lunch without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of lean protein to your salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas, to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your salad. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Non-Starchy Vegetables
Focus on including a variety of non-starchy vegetables, such as leafy greens, cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes, which typically have a lower impact on blood sugar.
Choose Whole Grains
If adding grains to your salad, opt for whole grains like quinoa or farro, which are digested more slowly and have a gentler effect on blood sugar levels.
Limit Sweet Dressings
Avoid dressings that contain added sugars, and instead, use olive oil, vinegar, or lemon juice for flavor without the sugar spike.
Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients
Incorporate foods high in fiber such as flaxseeds or chia seeds to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Keep an eye on portion sizes, especially of higher-carbohydrate ingredients, to avoid excessive calorie and carbohydrate intake in one meal.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal, as staying hydrated can help with digestion and better control blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Take your time to chew your food well, which aids digestion and helps with the gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Consider Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar to your salad; it can help improve insulin sensitivity and slow down the rise in blood sugar after meals.

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