Frybread, made with lard (Apache) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Frybread, made with lard (Apache)

• Metabolic Effect: Packing 46.01g of carbohydrates per 100g, this bread triggers a rapid insulin spike, providing immediate energy followed by a potential metabolic crash. The 10.14g of fat from lard creates a calorie-dense profile that requires efficient movement to prevent it from being stored as adipose tissue.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend pairing this traditional bread with a large serving of fibrous greens to offset its low 1.7g fiber content and improve digestion. To make the 309 calories more satiating, try adding a lean protein source which will work better with the existing 8.38g of protein in the bread.
• What to Watch For: The substantial 671mg of sodium is a red flag for water retention, so I advise my clients with hypertension to be extremely cautious with portion sizes. You should also account for the 4mg of cholesterol and high sodium if you are tracking heart-health markers this week.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the 309 calories from a single portion requires about 45 minutes of vigorous cycling or an hour of power walking. Be sure to significantly increase your water intake for the rest of the day to help your system flush out the excess salt.
