About This Calculation

Bok Choy Egg Bone Broth Soup has a low glycemic load of 0.9 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.

The primary glycemic load contributors are lemon juice (from ½ lemon) (GL 0.3), bok choy, raw (GL 0.2), garlic powder (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.

Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
