Nutrition
Carb Counting Calculator
Calculate total carbohydrate grams in a portion by multiplying number of servings by carbs per serving. Use it for diabetes management (carb-to-insulin ratio dosing), low-carb diet tracking, and general macronutrient monitoring.

Nutrition
Glycemic Load Calculator
Calculate glycemic load (GL) by multiplying glycemic index (GI) by carb content (grams) and dividing by 100. Use it to evaluate the blood-sugar impact of a portion of food β more meaningful than GI alone because it accounts for typical serving sizes.
