Pumpkin Jam - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pumpkin Jam

• Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it rapidly raises blood sugar levels and increases insulin secretion. This can lead to sudden energy drops and renewed hunger. Its fiber content is low, so the feeling of fullness is short-lived.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with foods containing fiber and protein can balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with whole wheat bread or yogurt. Adding cinnamon can also reduce sweet cravings.
• Things to Consider: 1 tablespoon of pumpkin jam contains approximately 2 teaspoons of sugar. Especially people with diabetes and those who want to control their weight should pay attention to portions. Make sure not to exceed the daily sugar intake.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 1 tablespoon of pumpkin jam, you need to walk for about 7 minutes or cycle for 5 minutes. You can easily burn these calories by increasing your daily activity level.
