Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tortilla
Metabolic Effect: Tortilla provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content. However, because it is low in fiber, it can raise blood sugar quickly and cause you to get hungry quickly.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming tortilla alone, you can get a more balanced meal by filling it with protein and fiber-rich ingredients. For example, a tortilla prepared with chicken, vegetables and avocado is richer in nutritional values.
Things to Consider: One large tortilla is equivalent to about 2 slices of bread. It is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from tortilla, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-minute brisk run can provide the same effect.
