About This Calculation

Easy Chicken and Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner has a medium glycemic load of 13.0 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are baby potatoes, tri-color (GL 6.9), carrots, raw (GL 4.0), maple syrup (GL 1.8). 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.
