Dietitian's Tips for Consuming English Muffin
Metabolic Effect: English muffins are high in carbohydrates and can quickly raise blood sugar levels. This can cause rapid energy fluctuations followed by a quick drop, especially for individuals with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes. Therefore, consumption should be balanced.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming English muffins alone, it is healthier to consume them with foods containing protein and fiber. For example, adding cheese, avocado, or eggs can help balance blood sugar levels. This combination will also extend your feeling of fullness.
Things to Consider: One English muffin is equivalent to approximately 1.5-2 slices of bread. Therefore, if you are mindful of your daily carbohydrate intake, it is important to control portions. Pay attention to the amount of sugar and fat in commercially available English muffins.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from an English muffin, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40-45 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-25 minute brisk run or 30 minutes of cycling will yield similar results.
