Glycemic Index (GI) ranks foods by how quickly they raise blood glucose.
| GI category | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | ≤55 |
| Medium | 56–69 |
| High | ≥70 |
Use GI contextually. Lower GI can aid satiety. Higher GI can be useful around hard training.
Glycemic Load (GL) estimates a food’s blood sugar impact using both GI and serving size.
Simple Carbs digest quickly and raise blood sugar faster than complex carbs.
Complex Carbs digest more slowly and often contain fiber and micronutrients.
Blood Sugar Control aims for steady glucose through smart food choices, timing, and activity.
