Grapefruit Jam - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Grapefruit Jam

• Metabolic Effect: Grapefruit jam is a quick source of energy due to its high sugar content. However, it is low in fiber and protein, so it can quickly raise blood sugar and cause sudden drops in energy.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming grapefruit jam alone, consuming it with fibrous foods such as whole grain bread or oatmeal helps to raise blood sugar more evenly. In addition, consuming some protein (e.g. cheese) alongside it can increase the feeling of satiety.
• Things to Consider: Grapefruit jam can lead to weight gain and dental health problems if consumed excessively due to its high sugar content. It is important to pay attention to portion control and brush your teeth regularly. One tablespoon of jam may contain approximately 25-30 grams of sugar.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 267 calories you get from grapefruit jam, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30-35 minutes. This is an effective exercise that you can include in your daily activity routine.
