Flaxseed Oatmeal

About This Calculation

Flaxseed Oatmeal has a high glycemic load of 21.2 per serving — significant blood sugar impact — consider pairing with protein and fiber, or adjusting portion size.

The primary glycemic load contributors are rolled oats (GL 12.3), honey (GL 5.3), milk (2% dairy) (GL 3.6). 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.
