Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cupcake

Metabolic Effect: Cupcake rapidly increases blood sugar due to its high sugar content, providing a quick energy boost. However, this rapid increase can soon lead to a drop, causing hunger again.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming protein and fiber-rich foods alongside cupcake can help balance blood sugar levels. For example, consuming it with a glass of milk or yogurt can provide a more balanced snack.
Things to Consider: One cupcake is roughly equivalent to 1 slice of dessert. Due to its high sugar and fat content, frequent consumption should be avoided, especially for those with diabetes or insulin resistance.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a cupcake, approximately 20 minutes of brisk walking is necessary. With a more intense activity, these calories can be burned in a shorter time.
