When it comes to snacking, caramel-coated popcorn may be a popular choice, but it’s essential to know that it may lead to a low food score due to its high simple carb content in the form of corn. The sugar in the caramel can also cause spikes in blood glucose levels, leading to hyperglycemia. However, with the right approach, you can still satisfy your snack cravings without compromising your health.
Enjoy caramel-coated Popcorn Responsibly
• Portion control is the key. Start with a small amount, such as 50g, to avoid overeating.
• Instead of caramel-coated popcorn, choose snacks low in simple carbs and added sugars. Almonds, cashews, walnuts, or homemade protein bars are great options.
• If you’re looking for a crunchy snack, try air-popped popcorn instead of caramel-coated popcorn.
While caramel-coated popcorn may be a tempting snack, its simple carbs and high sugar content can lead to spikes in blood glucose levels, increasing the risk of hyperglycemia and other health problems. Try popping the kernels at home. You can’t lower the number of carbs in popcorn by cooking it at home, but you’ll have better control over fat, sodium, and calories and, therefore, better control of your glucose levels.
