About This Calculation

Marble Brownies has a medium glycemic load of 10.3 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are milk chocolate brownie mix (GL 7.0), granulated sugar (GL 2.7), all-purpose flour (GL 0.5). 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.
