Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe has a low glycemic load of 4.6 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
The primary glycemic load contributors are low carb whole wheat tortilla, 7-inch (GL 4.5), scallions, chopped (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Not counted in this number, because the recipe serves it alongside the dish: salsa and guacamole (adds GL 0.3 per serving if eaten).
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.
