and you won't want to miss it. Orange is a super popular fruit because
It is a relatively low-cost and easily accessible fruit, usually in several seasons.
of the year it is present. It has several different varieties, several
different types of orange, so it ends up being very prevalent, very common
at our table. Let's start by talking a little bit, then,
about the calories in oranges so we can know, more or less, how many calories they have
1 single orange. So let's go, with the information
nutritional value of 1 orange, we have more or less between 60 and 65 calories because, right,
There are smaller oranges and larger ones. It has an average of 15 grams of carbohydrates. Of these 15 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams
of fiber. So, on average 12 grams of carbohydrate
for orange. So we can see that our little orange
is not low carb. 1 gram of protein, on average, and 01, almost nothing, of fat. So, we see that the orange has a
significant amount of carbohydrate, a little bit of fiber and practically no
protein and fat. Now, regarding orange juice, let's
talk more in depth about the calories and nutritional composition of orange juice. Before talking about orange juice, I remembered
to make a comparison with another fruit that is also easily accessible, it is there
in the fruit bowl, we pass, pick, eat: with the apple. In 1 apple we have, more or less, 70,
75 calories, with about 17 grams of carbohydrate. So when you look at it, it's very similar
of the orange, the difference is only a few grams, but I'm telling you this
see that the orange is not that terrible either. And the amount of fiber in the orange is super
important, it is significant. Mainly, and that's why I speak to
You, it is very important that you peel the orange and cut it and eat it. Don't open a lid on top and suck it
only the orange juice because then you won't consume that fiber, and then yes, the index
glycemic will be high. And normally we end up not doing this
with just 1 orange, you end up getting this little juice, this little juice of 2 oranges. And whereas if you cut the orange and
eat, 1 orange will already make you feel full. So, always remember to enjoy the food
in a comprehensive way, no one will eat the orange peel, but that good pulp, doesn't let
to eat that will make all the difference in improving your health. Now, talking about orange juice. All that wonderful fiber from the pulp was
although, right, because people normally strain the juice or put it through a juicer
juice itself, then there is fiber on one side, the pulp on one side, and that broth on the other
side. In 100 ml of this orange juice, we will
have more or less 50 calories, with 11 grams of carbohydrates. But 100ml, people, is not even half a glass. 1
large cup, American standard, is 300ml, so you see that it is 150 calories with
30 grams of carbohydrates, and practically no fiber. So, that's the big problem, it's going to
give an insulin spike, it will contribute to weight gain, to the secretion of insulin
very high, if you are diabetic, it decompensates diabetes because really, a quantity
very large, 30 grams of carbohydrate, it's almost like 3 tablespoons
of rice, which is in a glass there, of juice. So, you have to be careful because it is not
because it is juice, which is natural, which you can drink as much as you want, even if it doesn't have sugar,
can unbalance your blood sugar levels and can contribute to weight gain, yes. By this I am not trying to tell you that
orange juice is not healthy, of course it has vitamins, it has minerals, but,
right, the amount of fiber is practically insignificant, and you have a quantity
very large amount of carbohydrate per cup. So what are the best times to
do you drink orange juice? After training, without a doubt, and then you
You can also add a portion of protein, a whey protein, which becomes a shake
very cool. So, it makes perfect sense for you to consume one
high glycemic index carbohydrate, or you could make an orange juice, which was
even something that our grandparents used to do in the past, you can squeeze the juice
of 1 orange, fill with water and drink. It will still not have fiber, but at least
the amount of carbohydrates will be more controlled. And, if you can consume this orange juice,
if applicable, at lunch or dinner along with other foods: vegetables, greens, chicken,
fish, right, some food that is a source of protein, a source of fiber to slow down
the absorption of orange juice is even better. So, remember that orange can be a
good option for you to consume, as long as you eat the fruit fresh, whole, with the
bagasse. It can even be a good option for
you put it in a fruit salad, you can put it together with a fruit salad
that has apple, that has banana to increase the amount of fiber because, for example,
the banana does not have such a significant amount of fiber, if you add the orange
chopped with the pulp, it's a great option, it still has that broth, it works very well
well. But, always remembering that, if you use 1
apple, 1 banana and 1 orange, you will have 3 servings of fruit, so divide your salad
of fruit for 3 to also not decompensate the glycemia, to also not gain weight because
that's not what we want. Always remembering that there is no food that
is a villain, there are people who eat the wrong way or in the wrong quantity. So, eating whole fruit, 1 fruit
per serving, yes, orange is super good for you and won't make you fat. And you, now tell me below:
Do you usually eat oranges on a daily basis? Do you drink orange juice? Do you make that orange juice that grandma used to make,
Did we say? Tell me here because I want to know, how
