Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Baklava

Metabolic Effect: Baklava is a quick source of energy due to its high sugar and fat content, but it can rapidly raise and lower blood sugar levels. This can lead to sudden energy spikes followed by feelings of fatigue.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming baklava alone, pair it with protein sources like milk or yogurt to help stabilize blood sugar levels. It is also important to pay attention to portion control.
Things to Consider: One slice of baklava contains approximately 200-250 calories, which is equivalent to the calorie value of a moderate meal. Individuals with diabetes and those aiming to manage their weight should be cautious.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from baklava may require approximately 30-40 minutes of moderate-paced walking or 20-25 minutes of brisk running. This may vary depending on your daily activity level.
