Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Frying Oil
Metabolic Effect: Frying oil provides energy due to its high fat content, but it does not provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness because it is not digested quickly. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and heart health problems.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of frying oil, you can create healthier alternatives by cooking your meals in the oven, on the grill, or by steaming. You can balance your fat intake by choosing healthy oils such as olive oil.
Things to Consider: Frying oil can form harmful compounds when used repeatedly. Therefore, it is important to change the frying oil frequently and avoid overheating.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from 1 tablespoon of frying oil, you need to run briskly for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, cycling at a moderate speed for 20 minutes can provide the same effect.
