Glycemic load of a 100 g serving of food can be calculated as its carbohydrate content measured in grams (g), multiplied by the food's GI, and divided by 100. For example, watermelon has a GI of 72. A 100 g serving of watermelon has 5 g of available carbohydrates (it contains a lot of water), making the calculation (5 × 72)/100=3.6, so the GL ...
The calculation of the score involves seven different parameters of nutrient content per 100 g of food typically displayed on food packages. [6] High content of fruits and vegetables, dietary fiber, and protein promote a higher score, while high content of calories, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium promote a detrimental score. [6]
