Soup - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Soup

• Metabolic Effect: Soup is generally low in calories and high in water content, which helps to create a feeling of fullness and can aid in weight management. However, depending on the ingredients, it can raise blood sugar quickly.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming soup alone, eating it with a fibrous salad or whole wheat bread creates a more balanced meal. This helps to raise blood sugar more evenly.
• Things to Consider: It is important to avoid creamy or high-fat soups, as these types of soups can be high in calories and fat content. A bowl of creamy soup can contain as many calories as a small hamburger.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a bowl of soup, it will be enough to walk at a light pace for about 20 minutes. This can be easily integrated into your daily activity routine.
