Juicy Low-Carb Meatloaf

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Weigh all edible ingredients in grams. Grate the courgette and retain it all without squeezing. 2. Mix all listed ingredients, including all the weighed ground pepper and paprika, into an even mixture. 3. Shape the loaf in a baking-paper-lined tin without extra grease. 4. Bake for about 50 minutes until cooked through, rest for 10 minutes and divide into 6 portions. Consume the whole mixture and pan juices.

low GL

Confidence · Low Some values or assumptions in the calculation are uncertain.

The estimate combines ingredient carbohydrate and GI data with modeled assumptions.

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.

  • Value used in the model

All available carbohydrate is included, with no small portions omitted. This is a modeled ingredient estimate, not a measured meal response. Biological uncertainty has not been quantified.
