About This Calculation

Cinnamon Swirl Loaf has a high glycemic load of 27.2 per serving — significant blood sugar impact — consider pairing with protein and fiber, or adjusting portion size.

The primary glycemic load contributors are all-purpose flour (GL 20.1), granulated sugar (GL 4.1), granulated sugar (GL 2.7). 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.
