Grits is from corn so it is pretty high on the glycemic index. I love grits, but oatmeal is alot better for you.

And for carb loading

Oats, corn, and grits all have about the same glycemic index.

Grits has less fiber, protein, and fat than oatmeal though.

Once you start adding other foods to a meal (like adding a protein and/or fat source to your grits), you alter the GI a lot.
