Figs, dried, uncooked - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Figs, dried, uncooked

• Metabolic Effect: With 9.8g of fiber per 100g, these figs jumpstart your digestion, while the 680mg of potassium helps flush out excess sodium and water weight. This potent combination prevents blood sugar spikes and effectively suppresses those stubborn sugar cravings.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend my clients pair 2-3 dried figs with two whole walnuts during the afternoon slump to stabilize energy levels and prevent hunger. This strategy manages the absorption of the 63.87g of carbohydrates, keeping you satiated for a significantly longer period.
• What to Watch For: Keep an eye on your portions since 249 calories per 100g can sneak up on your daily energy limits quite fast. Those prone to kidney stones should also be mindful of the high calcium content, which reaches 162mg per serving.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn off the 249 calories in a 100g serving, you would need to complete a 45-minute moderate-intensity walk. Alternatively, a 25-minute vigorous swimming session is a great way to offset that energy intake quickly.
