Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Penne Pasta

Metabolic Effect: It has a high glycemic index, so it raises blood sugar quickly and can cause sudden hunger. This effect is even more pronounced if it is made from white flour.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with vegetables and proteins helps to balance blood sugar. You can increase your fiber intake and stay full longer by choosing whole wheat or bran pasta.
Things to Consider: A serving of penne pasta is equivalent to about 2-3 slices of bread. It is important to pay attention to portion control and consider calorie intake when consuming it with sauces.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a serving of penne pasta, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40-45 minutes. This allows you to burn approximately 250-300 calories.
