Burcak Cookie (Oat, Sesame, Fig, Peanut, Sunflower Seed, Cinnamon, Whole Wheat Flour Cookie) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Burcak Cookie (Oat, Sesame, Fig, Peanut, Sunflower Seed, Cinnamon, Whole Wheat Flour Cookie)

• Metabolic Effect: Due to its high carbohydrate content, it rapidly raises blood sugar levels and increases insulin release. Although the fiber content provides some satiety, this effect is short-lived.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with a source containing protein and healthy fats (e.g., milk or yogurt) helps balance blood sugar. It is important to pay attention to portion control.
• Things to Consider: One cookie contains approximately the same amount of carbohydrates as 2 slices of bread. Individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance should pay attention to the amount of consumption.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one cookie, you need to walk briskly for about 20 minutes. Regular exercise helps keep blood sugar levels under control.
