What are Frozen Dinners & Entrees food comparisons?

Frozen Dinners & Entrees food comparisons help you understand the nutritional differences between similar foods in this category. We have 20 comparisons available to help you make better choices for blood sugar management.

How do I use these food comparisons for diabetes management?

Each comparison shows two foods side-by-side with their Blood Sugar Impact (BSI), carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, fat, and protein content. Look for foods with lower BSI scores and higher fiber content for better blood sugar control.

What does the Blood Sugar Impact (BSI) score mean?

BSI is our proprietary score that predicts how much a food will raise your blood sugar. Lower scores (closer to 0) indicate minimal impact, while higher scores suggest the food may cause larger blood sugar spikes. This helps diabetics choose foods that support stable glucose levels.

How should I interpret the nutritional information in these comparisons?

Focus on foods with higher fiber and protein content, as these nutrients help slow glucose absorption. Compare carbohydrate and sugar content between similar foods to identify better options. The color-coding helps you quickly identify foods with higher or lower nutrient levels.

Can I create my own food comparisons?

Yes! Use our comparison tool to compare any two foods in our database. This is especially helpful when you want to compare foods from different categories or find alternatives to foods that spike your blood sugar.

How often should I use food comparisons in my meal planning?

Food comparisons are most helpful when you're trying to choose between similar foods or looking for alternatives to foods that affect your blood sugar. Use them when grocery shopping, meal planning, or when you want to understand why certain foods work better for your diabetes management.
