Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Kunafeh
Metabolic Effect: Kunafeh, due to its high sugar and fat content, rapidly increases blood sugar levels and causes a sudden energy surge. This can lead to you feeling hungry again soon after and increasing your craving for sweets.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming kunafeh alone, consuming it with a beverage or fruit containing protein and fiber can help balance blood sugar levels. For example, a glass of milk or a few slices of apple could be a good choice.
Things to Consider: A serving of kunafeh can meet a large portion of your daily sugar needs. Therefore, it is important for individuals, especially those with diabetes or insulin resistance, to pay attention to the amount they consume.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 426 calories you get from kunafeh, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 60 minutes. Alternatively, 30 minutes of brisk running can provide the same effect.
