Sweet Couscous - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sweet Couscous

• Metabolic Effect: Sweet couscous provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content. However, due to its high glycemic index, it can raise blood sugar levels rapidly. Its fiber content is low, so the feeling of fullness may be short-lived.
• Consumption Recommendation: Consuming sweet couscous with foods rich in protein and fiber helps balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with yogurt or nuts. It is important to pay attention to portion control.
• Things to Consider: Sweet couscous is a food that requires portion control, especially for diabetics. One serving of sweet couscous contains carbohydrates equivalent to about one slice of bread. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 185 calories you get from sweet couscous, you need to walk briskly for about 25 minutes. Alternatively, 15 minutes of running or 30 minutes of cycling will have the same effect.
