Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Samosa
Metabolic Effect: Samosa has a high glycemic index because it is a fried pastry, which raises blood sugar rapidly. This can cause a sudden energy spike followed by a quick drop, which can trigger hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming samosa alone, consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber such as buttermilk or yogurt can balance blood sugar. This combination extends the duration of satiety and prevents sudden sugar fluctuations.
Things to Consider: One medium-sized samosa contains approximately the same calories as 4 slices of bread. It is important for those who want to control their weight to limit samosa consumption and pay attention to their portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from samosa, you need to walk at a brisk pace for about 1 hour. This encourages being more active during the day and exercising regularly.
