Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Granola
Metabolic Effect: Granola supports the digestive system and provides a feeling of fullness thanks to its fiber content. The oats and nuts it contains provide energy while helping to balance blood sugar. However, portion control is important as the fat and sugar content may be high.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming granola with yogurt or milk creates a more balanced meal by increasing protein intake. You can also support vitamin and mineral intake by enriching it with fruits. It can be preferred as breakfast or snack.
Things to Consider: Most of the granola varieties on the market may contain added sugar. Therefore, it is healthier to read the label carefully or make your own granola at home. A handful of granola has approximately the same calories as a portion of fruit.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from a handful of granola may require approximately 30-35 minutes of walking or 20-25 minutes of cycling. This may vary depending on the person's activity level and metabolism.
