Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Squid

  • Metabolic Effect: Squid is a seafood rich in protein. However, when breaded and fried, its fat and calorie content increase. Omega-3 content may decrease with the frying process.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It is healthier to consume it grilled, steamed, or baked instead of frying. It can be consumed with a salad with plenty of greens.
  • Things to Consider: Squid is a food with a high cholesterol content. Therefore, it is important for people with cholesterol problems to pay attention to portion sizes.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of squid, you need to walk for about 45 minutes. Alternatively, 25 minutes of swimming can provide the same effect.
