Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Muffin (Cupcake)
Metabolic Effect: Muffins can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to their generally high sugar and carbohydrate content. This can cause sudden energy spikes and subsequent rapid drops.
Consumption Recommendation: It is important to pay attention to portion control when consuming muffins. Consuming a fibrous food (e.g., fruit) with it can help to raise blood sugar more steadily.
Things to Consider: One muffin may contain the equivalent calories of about 2 slices of bread. Individuals with diabetes should be especially careful when consuming muffins.
Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk briskly for about 30 minutes to burn the calories you get from one muffin. This helps you maintain your daily energy balance.
