GlucoBalance Plate Builder - Snack

Blood Sugar-Friendly Plate Builder

Welcome to this interactive tool for building balanced snacks using a modified Diabetes Plate Method - a visual approach to meal planning that can be adapted for healthy snacking.

How the Balanced Snack Method Works:

• Include protein - Protein helps you feel full and has minimal impact on blood sugar
• Add fiber-rich foods - Fiber slows digestion and prevents blood sugar spikes
• Choose quality carbohydrates - Complex carbs for sustained energy
• Include healthy fats - Fats help slow digestion and add satiety

How to use this tool:

1. Browse food options by category (proteins, carbs, fiber sources, healthy fats)
2. Click on a food to automatically add it to the appropriate section of your snack plate
3. Watch how the carb count and blood sugar impact update automatically
4. Learn about the glycemic index (GI) and blood sugar effects

This interactive guide will help you create balanced snacks that support blood sugar control while providing information about portion sizes, carbohydrate counts, and glycemic impact.
