However after 700 calorie millet meal with some vegetables I found myself unstable a bit and was hungry 2h after a meal again. Could it be due to high glycemic index of millet which is 71, white basmati rice 58? Do you know any trusted sources that could confirm the glycemic index of boiled pearl millet?
So, would it be safe to base my daily meals on millet notwithstanding its high GI?
Any advice welcome.
