Considerations
- Calorie Density: Each bite contains 60 calories. If you're watching your calorie intake, be mindful of how many you consume, especially as they can be quite palatable and easy to eat more than one.
- Natural Sugars : While the sugars are from dates (a natural source), they are still sugars. If you are managing blood sugar levels or following a very low-sugar diet, you'll want to consume these in moderation and be mindful of the total carbohydrate content. One bite contains 1g of total sugars.
- Matcha Content: Matcha contains caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine, it's best to avoid these close to bedtime or if you are trying to limit your caffeine intake. The nutrition facts don't specify the amount of matcha, so the caffeine content per bite isn't clear. If you are very sensitive, start with a small portion to see how you react.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: The high fiber content from dates and chia seeds can be beneficial for many, but if you suddenly increase your fiber intake, it could lead to temporary digestive discomfort like bloating or gas. It's best to consume them as part of a balanced diet.
- Hydration: When increasing fiber intake, it's also important to drink enough water to help the fiber move smoothly through your digestive system.
- Individual Needs: Your specific health conditions and dietary requirements may influence whether these are a good choice for you. For example, individuals with kidney issues might need to monitor their potassium intake, and these bites contain 71mg of potassium per serving.
- Not a Meal Replacement: While nutritious, these bites are intended as a snack and should not replace balanced meals that provide a wider range of nutrients.
In order to maintain a balanced health system
- Eating 1-2 pieces per day is considered a moderate amount. However, individual needs may vary depending on total calorie intake, nutritional goals, and activity level.
- For diabetes and insulin resistance, it is recommended to eat only one piece 1-3 times a week after a full meal, depending on the daily calories specified.
- For ASD & ADHD please consult your doctor to determine the quantity.
