Glycemic Index of Meat and Chicken

Meats and chicken perform relatively well on the Glycemic Index food list, since by it's nature it's a measure of carbohydrates and sugars and the corresponding change in blood glucose that's released during the digestive process.

Enjoy these foods as many can help provide the core for your main entree, maintaining a GI score < 55.

Don't forget fish, chicken, and turkey.
Use sauces and saute' sparingly.

We will be adding to this listing as additional foods are tested and added to the GI database.
