Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sponge Cake

  • Metabolic Effect: Sponge cake can rapidly increase blood sugar levels due to its sugar and flour content. This can cause a sudden surge in energy followed by a crash, which may trigger hunger and make weight control difficult.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming sponge cake alone, pairing it with fiber-rich foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels. For example, consuming it with a cup of milk or yogurt can be a healthier option.
  • Things to Consider: One slice of sponge cake is equivalent to approximately 2 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control, especially for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from sponge cake, you may need to engage in about 20 minutes of brisk walking. This helps maintain your energy balance by increasing your daily activity level.
