Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Plain Bagel

  • Metabolic Effect: Plain bagel provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content. However, because it has a high glycemic index, it can quickly raise and lower blood sugar, which can lead to rapid hunger.
  • Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming plain bagel alone, you can balance your blood sugar by adding protein sources such as cheese, olives, or eggs. This way, you can stay full longer.
  • Things to Consider: One plain bagel is equivalent to approximately 4 slices of bread. It is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from plain bagel, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. You can shorten this time with a more intense activity.
