    Glycemic load > glycemic index/value
    I know this, and understand the principal. however, I don't have a formula to calculate the glycemic load of a meal, so I manage to the glycemic value of the foods contained within that meal.

    Why? do you have a formula for this?

    Please advise---

    I've seen it but will need to look for it for you. My point was, unless you're diabetic or eating carbs in isolation (without any other macro) it is pointless to worry about GV/GI bc all carbs will be slow digesting carbs with a mixed meal or if taken with protein/dietAry fat/fiber.
