Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Vegetable and Cheese Borek
Metabolic Effect: Borek is a quick source of energy due to the carbohydrates it contains. However, it may have a high glycemic index, which can cause blood sugar to rise and fall rapidly, leading to quick hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming borek alone, consuming it with protein sources such as buttermilk or yogurt can balance blood sugar. Also, consuming it with salad to increase fiber content will also be beneficial.
Things to Consider: One slice of borek may have the equivalent calories to about 2-3 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control. Those who want to control their weight should limit borek consumption.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one serving of borek, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 60-70 minutes. This will help you maintain your daily energy balance.
