GI is irrelevant in normal functioning adults. Even if insulin is raised high at a certain point during the day, if calories remain low thereafter, so will insulin, as fat is oxidized for energy needs.
So, if you eat 1600 calories worth of candy and that's all you eat that day, it will provide the same amount of energy as 4 400 calorie meals of protein spaced out through the day, despite the candy skyrocketing insulin at one point in the day.
