Homemade Ramadan Pita - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Ramadan Pita

• Metabolic Effect: Ramadan pita can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its high carbohydrate content. This effect can be more pronounced when consumed on iftar tables after a long period of fasting.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming pita alone, consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber helps balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with cheese, olives, and salad.
• Things to Consider: One medium-sized pita portion (100g) contains carbohydrates equivalent to approximately 2 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control, and those who want to control their weight should limit their consumption.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving of pita, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 35-40 minutes. This is a light exercise that you can do after iftar.
