Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Zucchini

  • Metabolic Effect: Zucchini helps balance blood sugar due to its low glycemic index and provides a feeling of fullness with its fiber content. It facilitates digestion and regulates bowel movements.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume zucchini raw in salads or grated with yogurt. By baking or grilling it, you can create a healthy alternative alongside main dishes.
  • Things to Consider: Although zucchini is low in calories, it is rich in nutrients. However, it is not a sufficient meal on its own and should be supported with protein and healthy fats.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the 19 calories you get from 100 grams of zucchini, it is enough to walk for about 6 minutes. This is an exercise that you can easily incorporate into your daily activity.
