low GL
Confidence · Low Some values or assumptions in the calculation are uncertain.
The estimate combines ingredient carbohydrate and GI data with modeled assumptions. Small amounts of carbohydrate were left out of the calculation.
Estimate details and sources ↗
How was the estimate calculated?
The serving’s GL is calculated from ingredient data. Confidence describes the evidence behind the calculation. Your blood sugar response may vary.
- egg without shell · Value used in the model
- tomato · Value used in the model
- green bell pepper · Value used in the model
- peeled onion · Value used in the model
- fresh parsley · Value used in the model
Documented small portions are omitted from this calculation. Their combined amount or documented upper bound is shown separately. This is a modeled ingredient estimate, not a measured meal response. Biological uncertainty has not been quantified.
Small portions omitted: 0.1 g available carbohydrate per serving.
