How to consume Spinach, White Rice without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from white rice.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add more fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots to your meal. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Choose Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of white rice and increase the portion of spinach and other non-starchy vegetables.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, replace white rice with a lower-carb grain option like quinoa or barley, which can have a lesser impact on blood sugar.
Eat Balanced Meals
Make sure your plate includes a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber along with the spinach and rice. A balanced meal can help keep blood sugar levels steady.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Include Vinegar
Adding a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal can help improve insulin sensitivity.
Mind the Cooking Method
Cook white rice using the absorption method rather than boiling and draining, which can help maintain its integrity and slow digestion.
Monitor Food Timing
Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals to avoid large spikes in blood sugar levels.

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