Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Airfryer Popcorn Chicken
Metabolic Effect: Popcorn chicken generally has a high fat content due to the frying process. This can slow down the digestion process and cause a delayed feeling of satiety. Although it is a quick source of energy, it can also cause sudden spikes in blood sugar.
Consumption Recommendation: Cooking popcorn chicken in an airfryer is a good alternative to make it healthier. Consuming it with a salad with plenty of greens or vegetables helps to ensure nutritional balance. You can also increase your fiber intake by consuming it with whole wheat lavash or bread.
Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to portion control. A serving of popcorn chicken can meet a significant portion of your daily energy needs. Especially those who want to control their weight should limit the amount of consumption. A handful of popcorn chicken contains approximately 150-200 calories.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from a serving (100g) of popcorn chicken, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-25 minute run or a 45-50 minute bike ride can have the same effect.
