Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pasta with Bechamel Sauce
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high carbohydrate content, it provides quick energy but raises blood sugar rapidly. The fiber content is low, which can lead to rapid hunger.
Consumption Suggestion: You can balance blood sugar by consuming it with plenty of salad and a protein source (chicken, fish, or legumes). You can increase fiber intake by preferring whole wheat pasta.
Things to Consider: One serving of pasta with bechamel sauce can roughly replace a main meal and can be high in calories. It is important to pay attention to portion control.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from this pasta, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 110 minutes. Alternatively, you can do 55 minutes of brisk running.
