Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sesame Oil
Metabolic Effect: Sesame oil is high in unsaturated fats and provides energy. It contains vitamin E with antioxidant properties, which helps protect cells.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be used as a dressing in salads or as a cooking oil in meals. However, it should be used sparingly as it is high in calories. It is heat resistant.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain. A tablespoon of sesame oil is about 106 calories, which is equivalent to a small snack.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of sesame oil, you need to cycle at a moderate pace for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This is equivalent to covering approximately 20-25 km.
