Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tahini
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high fat content, it is an energy-dense food and provides a long-lasting feeling of fullness. Thanks to the healthy fats and minerals it contains, it supports body functions, but excessive consumption can lead to weight gain.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed mixed with molasses for breakfast or added to salads as a sauce. When consumed spread on bread, consuming it with fibrous vegetables helps to balance blood sugar.
Things to Consider: 1 tablespoon of tahini is approximately 87 calories and contains a high amount of fat. It is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions. Excessive consumption can lead to digestive problems.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 583 calories you get from tahini, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 90 minutes. Alternatively, 60 minutes of swimming or 45 minutes of running can help you burn the same amount of calories.
