What important nutrient is ranked based on its glycemic index?
  1. Fiber

  3. Protein
  4. Fats
Explanation
Answer - B - Carbohydrates are ranked based on the glycemic index, or their ability to raise the blood sugar levels. The danger this can prove to a client seeking body composition alteration is that high GI foods can cause a spike in insulin and blood sugar, resulting in a craving for more carbs once they have started to clear out of the system.
