Keto Pizza Casserole has a low glycemic load of 1.7 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
The primary glycemic load contributors are tomato sauce (GL 0.9), mozzarella cheese, shredded, low-moisture part-skim (GL 0.3), ricotta cheese, whole milk (GL 0.2). 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.
