According to nutritionist Alexey Kabanov, people who are overweight should refrain from eating seeds, especially fried ones. They are very high in calories – fried ones contain up to 700 kilocalories per 100 grams of product.
— And 100 grams of pork, for example, contains about 470 kilocalories per 100 grams. So a glass of seeds can be easily compared to a good pork chop,” the specialist noted.
Roasted seeds (and they are usually chosen) contain harmful substances that are difficult for the body to fight.
However, natural sunflower seeds are very useful: they contain a lot of unsaturated fats, which many people lack in their diet.
Despite the high calorie content, seeds are useful due to the content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Moderate consumption of seeds can be part of a healthy diet, but it is important to watch your portions, especially if you are monitoring your calorie intake.
