Oatmeal, which is rich in dietary fiber and iron, is healthy and popular with dieters. So what are the benefits of using oatmeal cookies in your diet?
Oatmeal cookies have more protein and fiber than regular cookies. Furthermore, they are low in sugar, low in fat, and low in calories.
Each oatmeal cookie contains 0.8g of dietary fiber. About 3.8 times richer than the same amount of regular cookies. Foods rich in dietary fiber have the advantage of being chewy and satisfying even in small amounts, which helps prevent overeating between meals.
The GI value is an index that indicates how easily blood sugar levels rise. Oatmeal cookies, which are high in dietary fiber, can be said to have a relatively low GI value. When the blood sugar level rises slowly, the secretion of insulin, which is involved in fat storage, can be suppressed.
If you want to eat cookies as a snack during your diet, please try these. But be careful not to eat them all!!
