Glycemic load combines a food’s glycemic index with the carbohydrate amount in a serving.
| Input | What it means |
|---|---|
| Glycemic index | Use the measured or stated value for this item, with the unit or category shown beside the field. |
| Carbs in the portion | Use the measured or stated value for this item, with the unit or category shown beside the field. |
A GI of 50 with 20 g available carbohydrate gives GL=10.
Use this as a starting reference for planning or checking quantities. Where the page estimates a person’s needs, the estimate should be considered alongside actual intake, trends and individual circumstances.
It is a reference or model-based estimate. Actual needs depend on the person, the measurement method and the situation; a planning estimate should not be treated as a prescribed intake.
Different tools use different reference tables, equations, ingredient densities or activity assumptions. Compare those choices as well as the input amounts.
