glycemic load (CG): It is taken into account, in addition to the glycemic index, the total amount of carbohydrates containing a usual portion of consumption.It is the product of the IG multiplied by grams of carbohydrates of the food portion to be consumed, divided by 100.

IG × g carbohydrates in the portion of food to consume / 100

What is the glycemic index (IG)?
It is a measure that serves to classify foods based on its immediate effect on blood sugar level.We know this value by consulting tables and databases

@arizona32
Let's see IG = 15, it's low, it means that glucose will raise you slower than if you drink fries with a 70 IG.
60g HC every 100 g of product means that if you eat 50 g of that product, you are getting in the body 30g of HC and you will have to put the insulin corresponding to that 30 g of HC (= 3 rations of HC) (rule3) 60% of the product is HC

Look at the link table, food with IG High usually have many HC and are usually the ones we like the most.
