Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Leek Bun

Metabolic Effect: Leek bun can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its carbohydrate content, leading to a quick energy boost followed by a crash. This can cause you to feel hungry again shortly after.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with protein sources like cheese or yogurt helps balance blood sugar and keeps you feeling full for longer. Additionally, eating it with a fibrous salad facilitates digestion.
Things to Consider: One leek bun is equivalent to approximately one slice of bread. It is important to be mindful of the fat and carbohydrate content. Those who want to control their weight should pay attention to their portion sizes.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from one leek bun requires approximately 25 minutes of light-paced walking. This helps maintain your daily calorie balance.
