Poor nutritional content
Bhel or rice puff is like eating air. Really, it has zero nutritional quality and poor satiety value. It never keeps you full or serves any you any good purpose like weight loss. Keep it out of the list.
Low Thermogenic effect
Thermogenic means ‘The foods that stays in stomach for a longer time and use a lot of energy/ fuel to burn/ digest it’ eg: whole wheat roti will take longer time to digest and burns more energy than sugar. Foods like khakra, chiwda, biscuits, bhel are low thermogenic foods.
Poor timing
5-6pm meal is the most important meal of
the day, just as your breakfast. Eating low energy food, and low nutritional
meals will crash your blood glucose level in 15 mins, leaving you extremely
hungry during dinner time. Therefore, you tend to overeat in the dinner time.
So plan ahead
