Greek Breakfast Casserole has a low glycemic load of 0.6 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
The primary glycemic load contributors are sun-dried tomatoes, dry-packed, chopped (GL 0.2), artichoke hearts, canned in water, drained (GL 0.1), fat-free milk (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.
