At musclehack.com on the glad diet it's states that all brans gl is 6 gls for a 30g serving. Is this the same as kellogs brand all bran as on the box it says it has 7g sugar per 40g serving? Thanks to any that can help

Good question.

NOPE!

In North America, Kellog's All-Bran has a GI of 50, and is 9 GLs for a 30g serving. If you are in the UK or Australia, because the ingredients are slightly different, the GI for the same cereal is 30, with a GL of 4.

Hooowwwevvverr.... this means the 9GL serving is 18 net carbs, and the 4GL serving is 13. To calculate GLs, divide the net carbs by 100 and multiply by the glycemic index - don't use just the sugars, or you'll be WAY off every time, and end up consuming far more than you mean to.

Thanks for the reply. Very helpful. Just one question, how would I find the gi of a food?

The internet is, in fact, NOT for porn!

Lol. It's ok, after a few days forcing down a bran I have decided to switch to granola, much nicer!
