About This Calculation
Pot Roast has a medium glycemic load of 13.6 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.
The primary glycemic load contributors are potatoes (GL 10.1), all-purpose flour (GL 2.1), carrots (GL 0.8). 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.
