Things to Consider: One serving of flan contains approximately 190 calories, which is a high value for a snack. It is not suitable for people with diabetes.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving of flan, you need to walk for about 45 minutes. More intense activities can be preferred to burn these calories.
