Expert Tips & FAQ:

What does low-GI mean? The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how carb-containing foods affect your blood sugar levels. A GI value of 55 or lower is considered to be a low GI breakfast/meal, while 70+ is high. Our bodies break down carbs into glucose and insulin passes this over to power our cells. High-GI foods make our blood glucose levels spike and crash. 

What are some low-GI foods? Whole grains, fruits, dairy products, and legumes. 

Are eggs a low-GI food? Yes! Eggs have a relatively low glycemic index.
