Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Falafel

Metabolic Effect: Falafel slows down digestion and provides a feeling of fullness due to its fiber content. However, its high fat content can lead to weight gain if consumed excessively.
Consumption Suggestion: Consuming falafel with plenty of greens and a low-fat sauce increases its nutritional value and balances calorie intake. Opting for baked instead of fried falafel is a healthier choice.
Things to Consider: One serving of falafel (approximately 3-4 pieces) is equivalent to about 1 slice of bread and 2 meatballs. It is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from falafel, it is necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes or run at a fast pace for 20 minutes.
