Kibbeh - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Kibbeh

• Metabolic Effect: Kibbeh can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its carbohydrate content. This can cause sudden energy fluctuations followed by a rapid decline, especially in individuals with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming kibbeh alone, eating it with a salad rich in greens or a high-protein and fiber-rich food like ayran (yogurt drink) can help balance blood sugar. This combination helps you stay full longer.
• Things to Consider: One serving of kibbeh contains carbohydrates equivalent to approximately 6-7 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 kibbeh, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 166 minutes. Alternatively, 83 minutes of brisk running or 103 minutes of cycling can provide similar results.
