Wheat Flour - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Wheat Flour

• Metabolic Effect: Wheat flour, due to its high carbohydrate content, can quickly raise blood sugar levels. Refined wheat flour, in particular, has a low fiber content, leading to a faster effect and causing rapid fluctuations in insulin levels.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming wheat flour alone, consuming it with protein and fiber sources can help balance blood sugar. Whole wheat flour and other high-fiber alternatives should be preferred.
• Things to Consider: Approximately 4 tablespoons of wheat flour are equivalent to one slice of bread. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance. Diabetics should be especially careful.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from wheat flour, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 35 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-minute jog at a brisk pace can provide the same effect.
