Corn Flour - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Corn Flour

• Metabolic Effect: Corn flour is a high glycemic index carbohydrate source. It provides quick energy but can rapidly raise and lower blood sugar. This is a feature that should be considered especially for diabetic patients.
• Consumption Recommendation: Since corn flour can quickly raise blood sugar when consumed alone, it is recommended to consume it with foods containing protein and fiber. For example, consuming a corn flour dish with yogurt or salad can provide a more balanced meal.
• Things to Consider: Corn flour contains less protein than wheat flour. Therefore, it is important for especially vegan or vegetarian individuals to turn to other protein sources to support protein intake. Also, a glass of corn flour contains approximately the same calories as 3 slices of bread.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from corn flour may require about 30 minutes of moderate-paced walking. This is important for maintaining daily energy balance.
