Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Bagel (Homemade)
Metabolic Effect: Bagels provide quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content, but can rapidly raise blood sugar levels. This is a factor to consider, especially for diabetics.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming the bagel alone, consuming it with cheese, olives, or vegetables can help balance blood sugar. In addition, protein and fiber content extends the feeling of fullness.
Things to Consider: One bagel is equivalent to approximately 4 slices of bread. Therefore, portion control is important and excessive consumption should be avoided.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a bagel, you need to walk for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, 20 minutes of running can provide the same effect.
