About This Calculation

Wild Mushroom Beef Stew has a medium glycemic load of 12.2 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are baby red-skinned potatoes (GL 8.4), all-purpose flour (GL 2.7), tomato paste (GL 0.6). 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.
