Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Salad

  • Metabolic Effect: Salad regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness due to its fiber content. It helps meet the body's daily needs with the vitamins and minerals it contains.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Salad can be consumed as a side dish or as a main meal. Its nutritional value can be increased by adding protein (chicken, cheese, legumes).
  • Things to Consider: Salad dressings can be high in calories, so light dressings should be preferred. Excessively oily sauces reduce the benefits of the salad.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn 87 calories, you need to walk for about 20 minutes. This is an amount that can be easily burned with a light activity.
