Hearts of palm, canned - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Hearts of palm, canned

• Metabolic Effect: At just 28 calories per 100g, this low-density food utilizes its 2.4g of fiber to extend satiety and keep your metabolic hunger signals in check. The 3.13mg of iron it provides is essential for optimizing oxygen transport, ensuring your energy levels remain high even on a deficit.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend my clients use these as a grain-free pasta substitute by slicing them into thin ribbons and lightly sautéing with garlic. Adding a splash of lemon juice will activate the 7.9mg of Vitamin C, significantly increasing the absorption of the plant-based iron.
• What to Watch For: Be aware of the 426mg of sodium inherent in canned varieties; I strongly advise rinsing them thoroughly under cold water to reduce salt intake. If you are managing hypertension or water retention, balance the meal by avoiding any additional salt in your seasonings.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the 28 calories from a 100g serving takes a mere 4 minutes of brisk walking. This makes it an incredibly efficient 'volume-filler' that adds satisfaction to your plate without a significant caloric investment.
