Cotton Candy - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cotton Candy

• Metabolic Effect: Cotton candy rapidly raises blood sugar levels due to its high sugar content. Although this provides a sudden energy boost, it can soon lead to an energy crash and the need to eat again.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming cotton candy alone, consuming it with a food containing protein or fiber can help balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with a handful of nuts or a glass of milk.
• Things to Consider: One package of cotton candy contains approximately the same amount of sugar as a slice of cake. Therefore, especially diabetics and those who want to control their weight should limit their consumption.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from cotton candy, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. Alternatively, 25 minutes of running can give similar results.
