Glycemic index (GI) testing is normally based on individual foods, whereas GIs for meals or diets are based on a formula using a weighted sum of the constituents. The accuracy with which the formula can predict a meal or diet GI is questionable.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 42. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2026.
All research outputs
#1,269,061
of 34,636,286 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
#2,395
of 15,436 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,611
of 169,510 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
#22
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,636,286 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,436 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 41.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 169,510 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
