Common Mistakes
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (226-338.9 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Pairing with another high-GI food
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
Fix: Choose one carb source per meal. Pair with roti instead of rice, or add a protein-rich side.
