Date Balls - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Date Balls

• Metabolic Effect: Date balls, due to their high sugar and fiber content, provide energy but can rapidly raise blood sugar levels. The fiber content can provide a feeling of fullness, but portion control is important.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming date balls alone, consuming them with a food containing protein or healthy fats (e.g., a handful of almonds or some yogurt) can help balance blood sugar.
• Things to Consider: One date ball contains approximately 1 tablespoon of sugar. Therefore, individuals with diabetes or those trying to manage their weight should pay attention to their portions.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving of date balls, you may need to walk for about 30 minutes. This helps maintain your daily energy balance.
