Which of your meals would be suitable for a low GL diet?Updated 12 days ago

Glycaemic Load (GL) is a way of estimating the impact of a food on blood sugar levels, based on both the type and amount of carbohydrates it contains.

Some carbohydrates are digested quickly and raise blood glucose rapidly (high GI), while others are digested more slowly with a gentler rise (low GI).

Our meals are based on low-GI ingredients, like wholegrains and pulses, in balanced portions. Many of our meals are also high in protein, which helps regulate blood sugar responses.

Although we don't measure glycaemic load directly, we would expect our meals to be suitable for a low GL diet.

If you're looking for lower-carbohydrate meals, our Mediterranean Lighter meals contain 35-45g of carbohydrates per serving:

It's also worth knowing that blood sugar responses can be affected by various factors including sleep, stress, exercise and even what you've eaten in a previous meal - so you may experience different responses to the same meal at different times.
