Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Caramelized Peanut
Metabolic Effect: Caramelized peanuts provide quick energy due to their high sugar and fat content. However, this can cause sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar, which can lead to feeling hungry again shortly after.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming caramelized peanuts alone, consuming them with foods containing fiber and protein provides a more balanced energy. For example, you can consume a handful of caramelized peanuts with a handful of almonds or walnuts.
Things to Consider: Caramelized peanuts require portion control due to their high calorie content. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain. It is especially important for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes to pay attention to their consumption. Be careful not to exceed approximately 20-30 grams per serving.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from caramelized peanuts, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 17 minutes. This will help you burn approximately 87 calories. Alternatively, 10-15 minutes of brisk cycling can give similar results.
