Meanwhile, as temperatures drop, more people are looking for warm winter snacks such as bungeoppang, bungeobbang, and egg bread.

In cold weather, many people stop for a moment at the fragrant smell of winter snacks, but they are mostly high-calorie foods, so you need to be careful.

When the weather is chilly, outdoor activities decrease and metabolism slows down, so you can easily gain weight even if you eat the same amount. Additionally, if you continue to eat these snacks, you can consume more calories than when eating, so overeating is prohibited even if they are warm and delicious.

Bungeobbang and hotteok are mainly made of wheat flour and contain a lot of sugar, so they are high in calories. Usually, there are 100 to 120 kcal per bungeoppang, but it may vary depending on the size and ingredients. In the end, just by eating 2-3 bungeoppang, you are consuming as many calories as a bowl of rice.

The caloric value of hoppang is 200 to 230 kcal, and depending on the filling, it can be higher than this. Hotteok also has more than 200 kcal. In particular, hotteok contains a lot of oil during the cooking process and has a high fat content. In addition, egg bread has 130 kcal and chrysanthemum bread has 40 kcal.

To avoid gaining weight, it is best to eat only 1 or 2 of these snacks and eat less during meals.

If you can’t give up the romance of winter snacks that soothe the cold and hunger, it’s a good idea to try eating them a little differently.

If you eat bungeoppang or roasted sweet potatoes right after a meal, your blood sugar level will rise less than if you eat them on an empty stomach. Also, because you are full, you can reduce the amount you eat. When eating fish cakes with high sodium content, it is best to avoid drinking the broth and not adding soy sauce to the food.
