Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Shakshuka
Metabolic Effect: Shakshuka helps maintain stable blood sugar levels due to its low carbohydrate and high fiber content. The vitamins and minerals contained in the vegetables support the immune system and improve overall health. At the same time, its fiber content regulates the digestive system and provides a feeling of fullness.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming shakshuka alone, consuming it with a protein source creates a more balanced meal. For example, it can be consumed with a slice of whole wheat bread or some cheese. This helps keep blood sugar more stable and keeps you full for longer.
Things to Consider: A medium serving of shakshuka is roughly equivalent to a bowl of vegetable dish. It is important to pay attention to portion control, especially for weight management. Also, attention should be paid to the amount of oil used.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from shakshuka may require approximately 30 minutes of moderate-paced walking or 20 minutes of light-paced running. This may vary depending on the individual's metabolic rate and activity level.
