⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the dish primarily consists of protein and healthy fats.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar due to any minor carb content from coatings or marinades.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize due to the high protein and healthy fat content.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Reduce the amount of gram flour used in the batter or substitute with a lower-carb alternative like almond flour.
