💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the mixed macronutrient profile.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled Zucchini – Provides additional fiber and nutrients with minimal carbs.
• Avocado Salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helping to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled Chicken – Adds lean protein to the meal, aiding in satiety and metabolic balance.
• Pulled Pork – Provides high-quality protein and fats, complementing the low-carb enchiladas without adding carbs.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower Tortillas – Lower in carbs and provide a similar texture and flexibility as traditional corn or flour tortillas.
• Almond Flour – Reduces carbs and adds a nutty flavor to the enchilada sauce, thickening it without traditional flour.
• Ground Flaxseed – Adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, helping to thicken sauces without adding excess carbohydrates.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the digestion of fats and proteins begins.
• 30–60 min: Slower rise in blood sugar due to the high fat and moderate protein content.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels stabilize due to the low carbohydrate content and presence of fiber if whole ingredients are used.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a low-carb tortilla, increase the cheese and vegetable content, and reduce any high-carb sauces or sides.
