Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fried Rice

  • Metabolic Effect: Fried rice can rapidly raise blood sugar due to its high carbohydrate content, and it is recommended to be consumed carefully, especially for diabetic patients. While causing a sudden increase in energy, it can lead to a rapid decrease afterwards.
  • Consumption Recommendation: When consuming fried rice, adding foods rich in protein and fiber can help balance blood sugar. For example, consuming it with grilled chicken or vegetables will provide a more balanced meal.
  • Things to Consider: Fried rice can contain high amounts of oil, especially when consumed outside, and this can increase calorie intake. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control and prepare it at home with healthier alternatives.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from fried rice, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 25 minutes. This is equivalent to a walk of about 2.5 km and can be easily included in your daily activity routine.
