Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Cookie
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high carbohydrate content, it quickly raises blood sugar and provides instant energy. However, this rapid rise can cause a drop shortly after, leading you to feel hungry again.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming the cookie alone, consuming it with protein sources such as milk or yogurt can help balance blood sugar. Also, consuming it with fibrous foods prolongs the feeling of satiety.
Things to Consider: One medium-sized cookie is equivalent to approximately 1 slice of bread. Therefore, it is important to control your portions by considering other carbohydrate sources you consume during the day. Individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance should be especially careful.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one medium-sized cookie, you need to walk briskly for about 20-25 minutes. This is a simple exercise that you can add to your daily activity routine.
