Graph depicting blood sugar change during a day with three meals. The glycemic (glycaemic) index (GI; / ɡ l aɪ ˈ s iː m ɪ k / [1]) is a number from 0 to 100 assigned to a food, with pure glucose arbitrarily given the value of 100, which represents the relative rise in the blood glucose level two hours after consuming that food.

The insulin index compares foods in amounts with equal overall caloric content (240 kcal or 1000 kJ). Insulin indexes are scaled relative to white bread, while glycemic index scores nowadays are usually scaled with respect to pure glucose, although in the past white bread has been a reference point for GI measurements as well.
A sweet potato casserole recipe might call for three pounds, or about 48 ounces, of sweet potatoes. By Burgess’s estimation, that should equate to 9 to 12 servings. By Burgess’s estimation ...
Whereas glycemic index is defined for each type of food, glycemic load can be calculated for any size serving of a food, an entire meal, or an entire day's meals. [ citation needed ] 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.
The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a numerical score that assesses a diet for its effect on several biomarkers linked to inflammation. Its theoretical bounds are −8.87 to +7.98, and it is oriented such that negative scores are more anti-inflammatory and more positive scores are pro-inflammatory .
A frozen meal (also called TV dinner in Canada and US), prepackaged meal, ready-made meal, [1] ready meal (UK), frozen dinner, and microwave meal portioned for an individual. A frozen meal in the United States and Canada usually consists of a type of meat, fish, or pasta for the main course, and sometimes vegetables, potatoes, and/or a dessert.
Tagatose has very similar sweetness to sugar while its glycemic index (GI 3) is very low. GI is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates in food on blood sugar levels. It estimates how much each gram of available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus fiber ) in a food raises a person's blood glucose level following consumption of the food ...
Isomaltulose (trade name Palatinose, chemical name 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose) is a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose.It is naturally present in honey [1] and sugarcane extracts [2] and is also produced industrially from table sugar and used as a sugar alternative.
