Queal High Glycemic Load?

[jakejones88]

One of my key priorities within my diet at the moment is glycemic load. This is important to be because I am trying to reduce bodyfat % while maintaining muscle/fitness. I noticed Queal has self-reported the GI of its products to be 60-70 (even as high as 75).

This seems worryingly high.

My questions...

1. Is there something I can do, some food I can eat as a snack, that will balance out/mitigate the GI of Queal?
2. Why is the GI so high in Queal?

Queal 5.0 has a GI of 50

See https://queal.com/queal5.0

The recipe has undergone various changes. The glycemic index is lowered to 50, by making the main sources of carbohydrates an even split between Maltodextrin and Isomaltulose. Counterintuitively, this does mean that there is a higher declaration of sugars in Queal.

Thank you for the clarification @ferrykoelman

I think this website of Harvard might also be interesting (it lists different GI's of foods)

Glycemic index for 60+ foods - Harvard Health

One thing we focus on at Queal is to provide balanced energy (and nutrition), and some 'quick' energy is also needed (otherwise I wouldn't survive the gym in the morning )
