Bitter Melon - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Bitter Melon

• Metabolic Effect: Bitter melon is known for its blood sugar balancing properties and can be particularly beneficial for diabetics. It also has immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Consumption Recommendation: You can consume bitter melon directly, add it to your salads, or drink it by extracting its juice. However, since it tastes quite bitter, it may be easier to consume by sweetening it with honey.
• Things to Consider: Excessive consumption can cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding mothers do not consume it without consulting their doctor.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of bitter melon (17 kcal), it is enough to walk for about 3 minutes. Alternatively, 1 minutes of light-paced running provides the same effect.
