Peach Jam - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Peach Jam

• Metabolic Effect: Peach jam, due to its high sugar content, rapidly increases blood sugar levels and stimulates insulin secretion. This can lead to sudden energy drops and increased hunger.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming peach jam alone, consuming it with whole-grain bread or fibrous foods can help balance blood sugar. Consuming it with a protein-containing food (e.g., cheese) also extends the feeling of fullness.
• Things to Consider: 1 teaspoon of peach jam contains approximately 20 calories, which is equivalent to about half a slice of bread. Individuals with diabetes and those aiming to control their weight should pay attention to portion control.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 1 tablespoon of peach jam, you need to walk at a light pace for about 7-8 minutes. You can maintain your calorie balance by adding these small exercises to your daily activities.
