It’s about every food I’ve cooked with heart and loves
“List of some food examples on different Glycemic Index (GI)/ Glycemic Load (GL) and Calorie range, just for your reference”
Low GI (less than 55), Low GL (less than 16) and low Calorie (less than 110 kcal per serving):
1 cup of cooked vegetables less than 20, less than 5, 40kcal
1 apple 40, 6, 75kcal
“GI, Glycemic”
Hey, Calories = Fat. GI? I would say more related to blood sugar level and carbohydrates than calories. Just some ideas to share with you on GI/ GL.
GI, Glycemic Index, refers to the measurement of the effect of carbohydrate-rich food on the rises of blood sugar level over hours after consumption (which means to measure the rates of rising blood sugar level over 2 -3 hours after eating certain carb-rich food).
“Keeping fit? Know more about your Daily Caloric Intake.”
Food energy is the amount of energy in food and drink that is available through digestion of our diet. The values for food energy are traditionally expressed in kilocalories (kcal) and kilojoules (kJ). The food calories = kilocalories (kcal).
Recommended daily intake of calories has been established at 2000 calories per day. However, experts believed that the calories-intake varies on each individual depending on various factors e.g. one’s lifestyle, physical work and daily activities level, body weight and height, gender, and even age group.
“A rough guide to check your Calories (or KCal) intake. This is my way to keep fit!”
1 Calorie (technically kiloCalorie) = energy value of 4.186 kilojoules (kJ).
Calorie in food packaging refers to kiloCalorie.
