Homemade Tomato Paste - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Tomato Paste

• Metabolic Effect: Tomato paste has antioxidant properties due to its lycopene content and supports the immune system. However, it should be consumed carefully due to its high sodium content.
• Consumption Recommendation: It is important to control the amount of paste when using it in meals. Individuals with blood pressure problems should avoid excessive consumption. Its nutritional value increases when used with olive oil.
• Things to Consider: Non-homemade tomato pastes may contain additives, so it is important to read the label. One tablespoon of tomato paste is equivalent to approximately one serving of vegetables.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from tomato paste, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, a 5-minute high-intensity exercise may also be sufficient.
