Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Candied Chestnut
Metabolic Effect: Candied chestnut contains a high amount of sugar, which rapidly increases blood sugar and provides instant energy. However, this rapid rise can cause a subsequent drop, leading to hunger again.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming candied chestnut alone, consuming it with foods containing fiber and protein helps to balance blood sugar. For example, you can consume a few candied chestnuts with a handful of almonds or walnuts.
Things to Consider: Candied chestnut is a dessert that should be consumed carefully due to its high calorie and sugar content. Especially those with diabetes or those who want to control their weight should pay attention to their portions. 4 candied chestnuts are equivalent to approximately 1 slice of baklava.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from candied chestnuts, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 25 minutes. Alternatively, 15 minutes of fast-paced running can help you burn the same amount of calories.
