Mixed Snacks - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mixed Snacks

• Metabolic Effect: Mixed snacks generally contain high carbohydrates and can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Due to their simple sugars, they can cause a sudden energy boost, but this effect will be short-lived.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming snacks alone, you can balance your blood sugar by adding foods containing protein or fiber. For example, consuming a handful of snacks with yogurt or milk would be a healthier option.
• Things to Consider: A bowl of snacks is roughly equivalent to 2 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control and avoid excessive consumption. People with diabetes should be especially careful.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from snacks, you need to do about 30 minutes of brisk walking. This will help you maintain your daily energy balance.
