[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1052541, member: 6467"] In general non-carbohydrate/non-sugar bits of a meal dilute the carbohydrates and slow their absorption and processing. If you looked at the "and sugars" bit of the nutritional information, you would generally have a quick hit if you just ate that amount of sugar on its own. You also asked about the link between calories and blood sugar. These are not necessarily directly related. As far as I can tell at the moment fats (high in calories) can be absorbed into the blood stream and carried directly to the cells where they are used for energy (or stored for later). So, calories burned but no glucose involved. Some fats go to the liver and can be processed to produce glucose but some fats don't. [/QUOTE]
